Last evening my buddy Jason joined me in my garage for some cleans. After a good warmup and some light reps, here was the workout:
12 minute countdown:
#135 full clean, 4 reps
That was it. Pretty simple, and a chance to fire some fast-twitch muscles with some explosive reps. Today I’m a bit sore in the traps, quads, glutes, and core. That is a lot of bang for your buck. Short, tough workout with lots of payoff.
Part of the reason that this is so beneficial is because of the range of motion for a quality repetition. On a clean, you start with the barbell on the ground and explosively bring it to the rack position, up at your chest. The power comes from the legs and the shrug. I love it.
