What’s really important here is getting ready for those heavy clean and jerks. Let’s get a good cardio warm up in and make sure your mobility and calves are warm. Mobility meaning your pistol position.
I love pistols to a rogue brick, wall ball, or a stack of plates as a scale. However, if you don’t want to even try a pistol, let’s swap that out for 50 walking lunges.)
Warm up with something like:
1min. of casual walking lunges
1min. of single unders
1min. of box step-ups
1min. of pistol practice
1min. of double unders
1min. of box jumps
1min. of pistol practice
3min. of barbell work (muscle clean and press + a few clean and jerks at starting weight)

Protocol for building to a max lift
After 75% max, all progressive sets should just be a SINGLE rep with full mental focus and preparation going into each rep (setup, bracing, power, breathing, etc…)
75% x 1-2 reps
80-85% x 1 rep
90-95% x 1 rep
102-103% x 1 rep = New PR
Continue adding weight if you make the 102-103% weight!
All lifts have a 2-Miss Rule
A. Alternate Movements
Rest as needed between sets of each to ensure loading and quality movement
Bench Press – Build to 1-RM
Ring Pullups (scale as “Rack Pull-ups”) – Build to 1-RM
B. Strict BB OHP – Build to 1-RM
C. Pendlay Rows – Build to 5-RM
D. Dips or Weighted Push-ups – Build to 5-RM
