5 min Clean Test
45 total reps

This was a brutal workout, the cleans with two bells in one hand between each rep were very frustrating. I kept rubbing my left wrist wrong after the clean and ended up sporting a couple of tennis wrist bands that my wife used to use so that was a bit humbling. The snatches were tough and I started a blister on left hand but you just have to work through them and it certainly won't be the first or last. I did 12 total snatches with the 48kg so that was cool. I waited about 6 or 7 mins before starting the 5 min clean test and they were ugly. I did not have much left and kept banging my upper arms. This did not hurt but I know that is improper form. I ripped my blister open during the cleans which I could see coming. That which does not kill us makes us stronger. Video is attached.

  1. Nice work! I knew it would be hard, and i knew you could handle it!

    On the cleans, your timing looks off a beat between your hip drive and catch, which is making them hit you. We will discuse some tips to "clean" this up

    Strong overall work, i am very pleased with those numbers
