Workout of the Day:  Monday

OK, we had a bit of a break last week … now it’s time to get ugly again.

A:  20/20′s in the Snatch* (starting at 70%)

B:  20/20′s in the Clean and Jerk (starting at 70%)

C:  Front Squat: 5×5 (working up to 3 sets across)

(*) 20/20 means doing 20 singles in 20 min’s.  It’s an old Joe Mills routine that goes like this:

  • You take certain % weight (as specified above–it’s usually 70-75%) and do 5 singles on the minute,
  • then add 5% and do 5 more singles on the minute,
  • then add 5% more and do 5 more singles on the minute
  • then add 5% more and do 5 more singles.

At that point your dying of exhaustion!  They’re great for building both strength and conditioning.  The workouts go by rather fast, but they’re a killer.
