OLY | WEEK 46 | 11/07/2021
The new SP logging system is coming soon! Once it is here you will find all of your favorite weekly accessory programs and Street Parking Extra Programs under "Extra Programs" and put together as series that you can follow at your own pace!
Street Parking OLY is posted once a week - on Sunday. These workouts are for those interested in adding in some additional work going heavy and working technique in the Olympic lifts. Add this in wherever makes sense for your schedule.
We typically suggest doing this workout BEFORE the regular programmed workout that day if doing both in one session. You can find suggestions on which days each week it will fit in best on the descriptions in Program A, B, and C on Wodify and the Members Only Website!
WARM UP
BARBELL CLEAN WARM UP
OVERHEAD WARM UP
WORKOUT
This also should be viewed as a part of your warm up. Start light and build with each set:
5 Sets
3 Front Squats
3 Push Jerks
No Score as we don't want you to focus on load - but just in moving properly and warming up solid positions.
COACHES NOTES
For front squats, make sure the bar is resting on the shoulders with a loose fingertip grip and elbows high! Keep the chest up, but do not overextend the back. Keep the belly tight!
Reach the butt back and down trying to keep the elbows and chest up as you descend. Drive the knees out and keep the heels down throughout. The bottom position should be where the butt is lower than the top of the knee. Do not collapse in this position. Do not go so low that the back starts to round.
To stand, lead with the chest and elbows - keeping the bar on the shoulder and not out in front. Stand fully for each rep.
For the push jerks, the bar will start up high on the shoulders with the elbows in front. You may clean the bar from the ground or take it from the rack. Your feet are under your hips and your heels are down. Stand tall, belly tight.
Dip keeping the heels down, allowing the knees to come forward and out, and hips staying back. Keep the chest up and do not let the weight pull you forward. From here you will stand up hard and fast. Drive the power from the legs into the bar. Move your face out of the way and think of pressing the bar up as you press YOURSELF DOWN under it. Feet may move slightly wider - but no wider than your squat stance (shoulder width).
You will land with your weight in your heels, knees bent and out, butt back, and bar locked out over the middle of your body. Press into the bar and keep the belly tight. Stand completely.
When lowering the bar back to the shoulders absorb with the knees and either go into the next rep or re-set for the next rep.
Take 15 Minutes to Establish a Heavy Single:
Clean and Jerk
COACHES NOTES
Score is your heaviest successful lift. Goal is to get at least 7 good heavy lifts in - that's around 1 rep every 2 minutes. Warm up before starting the clock if you know you are strong enough to go pretty heavy on this.
For the squat clean you will start with the bar on the ground. Hands will be outside the legs with about a hip width stance with the feet!
Your knees will be bent, heels down, arms straight, bar close to the body, chest up.
Stand keeping the arms long and bar close to the body. Drive through the heels and pick up speed after you pass the knees. Almost jump with the bar as you shrug the shoulders, and pull yourself underneath as the elbows shoot through and the bar lands on the shoulder. You will land in the bottom of the squat with the elbows high. Knees are out, heels are down, chest is up. Do not collapse in this position.
To stand, lead with the chest and elbows. Stand fully for each rep.
Now you are in position for the jerk. You can do a push jerk or split jerk.
You may need to adjust your grip or the position of the bar on your shoulders after the clean.
See above for push jerk description.
For the split jerk, as you extend you ankles, knees, and hips to drive the bar upward, your feet will leave the ground just enough to slide one foot forward and one foot back. Land with your front foot flat on the floor, knee directly over the ankle. Your back foot will make contact with the ball of the foot, knee slightly bent. Feet should strike the floor at the same time. The bar should be directly over your shoulders and hips.
Step your front foot back, then your back foot forward so they gather directly beneath your hips.
Finisher:
With 60% of your heaviest successful lift from before:
21 Clean and Jerks (Done in unbroken sets of 3 so think of it as 7x3 but as fast as you can with good form)
Score: Total Time
Goal: Get through this fast - but again focus on solid movement and maintaining those touch and go sets of 3.
