155/105 pound Push jerk, 6 reps

Skill:

Alternate between Swings and Dips
10 reps of each using a kettle bell that is challenging for 10 reps and if 10 reps on the dip machine are easy then use a weight when you do them.

Complete 10 sets total of each exactly like this:
10 Swings go right into 10 Dips rest 1 minute.
Again when you do the swings you should be putting 100% into each Swing, a lot of you guys are still just pushing with your hips to move the kettle bell or just moving it with your back or shoulders, don’t do that.  You’re going to hurt your back.
HERE’S HOW YOU HAVE TO DO THE SWINGS SO YOU DON’T GET HURT.
PLEASE LISTEN TO ME!
1.  START WITH THE KETTLEBELL ON THE FLOOR ABOUT A FOOT IN FRONT OF YOU.
2.  HINGE YOUR HIPS BACK KEEPING YOUR BACK PERFECTLY STRAIGHT WITH YOUR SHINS VERTICAL AND YOUR KNEES BACK IN THE SAME POSITION THEY STARTED AT.
3.  GRAB THE KETTLEBELL WITH TWO HANDS AND LIKE KEN O BRIEN THE BEST QUARTERBACK WHO EVER PLAYED THE GAME HIKE THAT SUCKER BACK BETWEEN YOUR LEGS KEEPING THE SAME POSITION, ONCE THE KETTLEBELL HAS REACHED FAR ENOUGH BACK BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND YOUR CHEST IS ALMOST PARALLEL TO THE FLOOR
4.  SQUEEZE YOUR ASS (GLUTES) AND YOUR THIGHS (QUADS) AS HARD AS YOU POSSIBLY CAN.  THE HARDER YOU SQUEEZE THE BETTER THIS IS WHAT I MEAN WHEN I SAY 100% EACH REP.
THE TIGHTER YOU SQUEEZE THE MORE POWER BEHIND THE KETTLE BELL.
5.  ONCE THE BELL HITS PROPER HEIGHT AGAIN HINGE AT THE HIPS AS THE BELL GOES BACK BETWEEN YOUR LEGS AND REPEAT.
LISTEN TO ME!!!  DO THIS IT’S THE RIGHT WAY!!!!  THE ONLY WAY!!!!

Skill:

Power Clean
Find your 1 Rep Max
After your warm up start doing your singles for your clean.  The bar must start on the floor and finish on your shoulders, you do not have to catch the weight in a full squat.  The Weight may be caught in any front squat depth you choose as long as it is not a Squat position because then it becomes a Squat Clean and we are not finding our 1 rep max squat clean we are finding our 1 rep max Power Clean, 2 totally different movements.

When doing the Power Clean Please be sure to as I always say 1,000 times a day take a deep breath in and tighten up your core and keep it there while you hold your breathe all the way through.
This progression might help.

1.  Step up to the bar so the bar is right on top of your last eyelit of your shoe, the last eyelit of your shoe is the one where the lace starts.
2.  Bend at the hips and grab the bar outside your shoulder width with a hook grip.
3.  Pull your body down towards the bar with your shoulders ending up slightly in front of the bar or directly over the bar and your butt slightly above your knee level, do not leave your butt way up in the air to start.
4.  Take a deep breath in, hold it and tighten up your core.  (Again we stay tight by pushing our guys forward not sucking it in.)  Retract your shoulder blades and hold them back tight all the way through the lift.
5.  Push your feet into the ground while pushing your knees back (THE BAR LEAVES THE GROUND AS SOON AS YOUR KNEES START TO MOVE BACK!!!!)  Keep the same hip angle from the bottom of the lift till the bar passes your knees.
6.  Once the bar passes your knees start extending your hip, when the bar reaches mid thigh level extend your hips, knees and ankles as hard as you possible can with no regret at all.
7.   Once you have reached full extension of your hips, knees, and ankles start shrugging and puling yourself under the bar as quickly as possible ripping your elbows under and around the barbell as you receive the barbell on the shoulders

Ok, we’re gonna have our first ever networking gathering.
The party will be on Thursday, May 18th at 7:30pm.  Anyone and everyone who is a member the gym is invited to join us.
I’ve never been to one of these myself but I hear they are a great way for people to get together and drink and shit.
Whatever the reason is let’s do it

Levered buyouts, mergers and acquisitions and all that shit

Skill:

Dumbbell Flyes 8 reps
Bench Press Drop Set
3 Sets Total

So one set will be one set of Flyes 8 reps then right into bench press till failure with a heavy weight then lower the weight right away and complete another set till failure and then one more time lower the weight and complete one more set till failure so 3 drops total.

Workout:

50-40-30-20-10
Box Jump 24/20

25-20-15-10-5
Snatch @115/75

5-4-3-2-1
Muscle Up

It’s 1,000 times better doing a lighter weight and full range of motion with perfect form than it is doing a heavy uncontrollable weight with half range of motion and crappy form.
With that said, make the right choice not the silly one.
