WHITEBOARD – 5 January 2012
Workload:
6 Rounds of:
3 High Hang Pulls
1 Clean
2 Jerks*Rest approximately 120s inbetween rounds
**Start weight at around 70% best Jerk or Clean (Whatever is heavier) and do not progress over 85% unless you feel very confident.If you are not comfortable with olympic movements perform:
6 Rounds:
10 Kettlebell Swings (Chest Level)
10 Kettlebell Swings (Full Extension)
6 Box Jumps as fast as you can.*Rest 1 Minute after each round
Notes: Take note of your positioning in the barbell complex. Many times I see people rush a complex because they are more concerned with the necessary effort or the impending work that they loose track of the work immediately at hand. Perform the pulls with purpose, perform the clean with purpose, and finish the complex strong with two solid jerks.
Example of someone doing it better than all of us (Donny Shankle from Cal Strength):

The thing they don’t highlight in the video is that Shankle drank a stein of beer before performing that complex…
