Balance Gym

4 x 1 tall clean/1 high hang clean/1 hang clean @ 65%

57.5kg

4 x 3 clean pulls (with one second pause at the knees) @ 85%

77.5kg

Pick-up basketball

Notes:  Really enjoyed the clean work, but I got a little loopy on my cleans.  Rather than popping the shoulders at full extension and then pulling hard under the bar, I felt as though I was just riding the bar down after a power clean.  Pulls were good, but pausing at the knee really zaps the power.  It also magnifies your positioning and reminds you to keep the shoulders blades back and down.  I did more of a shrug than a high pull.  Chris prescribed some core work involving weighted back extensions, evil wheels, and handstand holds, but I got talked into play a few games of basketball.
