15 min to warm up your cleans

*Flow: 5 muscle cleans at your lightest weight – 3 power cleans at medium weight – 1 squat clean at the heaviest weight. So you have to change the weight for each movement. The rest of the 5 min is rest. We’ve been practising these for a while now so try to stick to the weights you’ve used in previous weeks. Beginners treat today’s workout as an EMOM and perform the first 5 min every min 3-5 muscle cleans, min 6-10: 3-5 power cleans and min 11-15 1-3 squat cleans if possible (also think about powercleaning and then squatting through to full depth).
