Cleans can save your life....



This full clean is a great exercise but also very demanding on the nervous system.  It involves many movements that incorporates many of the body's large muscle groups in a dynamic fashion.  What frustrates most is the ability of the nervous system to  handle the many movements.  The demand on focus and concentration may fatigue and frustrate most.  Which may be why most may shy away from performing them.  In the end focus and determination will pay off as this is one of the many ways to build explosive strength and power. 

Keep in mind that when doing cleans on the 2nd floor of your apartment with 125lbs neighbors may get their broomstick to their ceiling....I'm just talkin' here!

Today's WOD....
4 rounds
10 full cleans ...Weight can be scaled or done with medicine ball.
30 sit ups

R.O.M. ? Whaaaa?

Range Of Motion
This is a core concept to every task we perform in our programming.  It corresponds more to everyday life and what we are here to do, which is improve quality of living.  When you sit down or get up you do it with ROM, if you didn't you would look pretty funny "kinda" sitting down.  Every task we perform will be done with ROM as best we can.  Everything can be scaled to build up strength to eventually perform the task correctly and efficiently.  Here are some examples
  • Pull ups non assisted or assisted will be done with ROM even if bands or a partner is needed to perform ROM.
  • Push ups will be be done with no limping of the back from plank position or with knees on the floor.
If you begin to lose ROM and begin to fatigue...take a small breather and return or scale the task don't cheat your body from gaining the strength to perform ROM.

Ok I'm off my soapbox :P
