‍

Strength
Clean and Jerk
Every 3:00 x 5 Sets
Power Clean + Split Jerk
Rest 10-15 seconds
Squat Clean + Split Jerk
Start @ 70% of the limiter and increase to a heavy for the day.

Reps should feel sharp and technical early, with the final set being challenging but stable overhead. Focus on clean footwork between the power and squat variations and consistent receiving positions in the jerk.

Modifications:
- Knee Sensitivity / Squat Limitation: Adjust Squat Clean to Power Clean (both reps become power) Keep jerks as written, or move to a push jerk if the split is creating an issue on the back leg.
- Overhead or Shoulder Discomfort: We can cut the split jerk today if the overhead position is problematic, or look to do the cleans and then work on Dumbbell Push Press if it's the barbell in the front rack that is creating a problem.
- Low Back Fatigue / Pulling Limitations: Reduce to Clean Pull + Power Clean + Jerk (lighter, more positional emphasis)

Beginner Option:
5 Sets:
2 Power Cleans + 2 Front Squats + 2 Push Jerks
Stay at 60–70% focusing on footwork, bar path, and overhead balance

Time Domain: 7:00-11:00
Time Cap: 12:00

Stimulus: Midline, Leg Stamina
RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Complete each round of wall balls unbroken or in 2 sets
Secondary Objective: Perform clean + jerk in smooth singles or fast doubles

Workout Notes and Strategy:
This workout is uniquely challenging because the sit-up sets repeatedly break your flow and elevate midline fatigue. The goal is to move fast and aggressively through the wall balls, keeping breaks minimal to maintain momentum. The clean and push jerk should be performed with strong technique, quick singles will keep heart rate manageable while preserving form. When the 3 minute mark hits, transition immediately into sit-ups without hesitation. Expect the sit-up breaks to tax your breathing and trunk, so reestablish a steady rhythm before attacking the next round. Smooth pacing and quick transitions separate strong performances from inconsistent ones.

Modifications:
- Wall Balls: Reduce load, lower target height, or use medball thrusters.
- Clean & Jerk: Reduce weight, perform clean + push press, or switch to dumbbells.
- Sit-Ups: Reduce to 15–20 reps, switch to anchored sit-ups, or use 20 abmat crunches for beginners.
