EMOM for 6min
2 Power clean + 2 Hang Power Clean + 2 Front Squat @ 165-185#
*first real exposure to BB cycling, move through this w/ a quality focus, will progress to 3’s next week if everything is good
Thought its 205# so I did it too heavy this week, but was really solid. Actually hang-cleans feel less powerful for me than from the floor or below knee.
