Workout of the Day Wednesday 190320 Power clean 5-3-3-1-1-1 reps. Practice the L-sit for 10 minutes. Practice front and back scales for 10 minutes. The power clean is the perfect training exercise for the violent hip-leg extension of the second pull. It has great application to explosive sport movement, but those sporting movements are not going to develop maximal hip-leg explosiveness. Only weightlifting can develop this explosiveness due to the unique posture and dynamics of the second pull. #

The clean is a pure bit of functionality. The clean is simply pulling a load from the ground to the shoulders, where frequently the object is being readied for lifting overhead. With the clean, we take ourselves from standing over an object and pulling it to moving under it and supporting it.
