Tip & Technique Video: Dumbbell Power Development

Saturday, February 27th, 2010

Pay attention to the way you move through your day today. Much of the time, if we’re moving something, we’re moving it pretty fast. When you pick up your bag off the ground, you’re not spending as much time lifting it as slowly as possible are you? Forget it. You want to grab it and go.

The moral of the story, we use power all day every day. So let’s train it.
Now MOVE!

4 Rounds
Subtract 10 burpees each round.
Video demos are pasted below the workout for reference. The bb high pull demo video shows the high pull combined with the burpees. This time we’re separating them. In this workout the two movements are performed independently. Mark your loads and times.

40 Burpees
15 BB High Pulls
10 Hang Power Cleans
5 Hang Power Clean & Jerks

Tip & Technique Video: Hang Power Clean

Saturday, February 13th, 2010

This one’s pretty much self explanatory. It’s one of those basic, cornerstone movements you really should look at adding into your program. As far as developing posterior chain power and endurance, this really is the king of the hill.
