Again the collective caldron of brain matter and intellectual ingenuity patent another corporeal distinguishing device, a compendious study of proficiency. Dabble beyond the ambit of acknowledged limitations; pursue the realm of privileged erudition. Restrictive margins exist to be deleted by the keystrokes of bold lexicographers, revising historically inaccurate definitions. Unabridged and uncensored, this is 60 minutes anchored without Andy Rooney.
Fundamentals are built, practiced, and perfected through quality repetition. The term “ground to overhead” has morphed a technically advanced lift into a raw display of ignorance. Function and utility can be derived from moving weight without concentration on basic tenants, but true efficiency is found in focus. Allot the requisite time for proper setup, execution, and recovery; test the operating party against ascending loads across the space-time continuum.
This is an opportunity for growth. Sixty individual attempts to find deficiency in the personal pages of implementation. Completion is not the end all objective. Work each load and repetition with purpose; locate the malevolent forces that hinder ideal results. The final foothold on this rock face is the product of time spent searching for improvement.
In the year AD 324 the galactic wars of attrition continued, slowly bleeding the war reserve and measuring the true extent of resolve. While much of the esoteric doctrine remains taboo and prohibited from mention in certain circles there still exists a glimmer of hope for illuminating the current zeitgeist of blinding darkness. The small rebel force continues to expand its operations from undisclosed locations, hopping frequencies, and evading enemy capture. The price for winning this war is what ever it costs. Sacrifice and avaricious determination are the primary weapons for opposing the eclipse of excellence and rise of subterfuge. Truth and justice exist at the end of a blood-bathed rainbow that few have the courage to follow. I stopped at 57 after ripping a callous that migrated across the border dividing the palm and the finger. Expedient patch work did nothing to control the tear. It happened on the tenth rep of 205. The result was a subtle change in mechanical form that had an exponential effect on the overall result. Can something so ostensibly insignificant have a substantial effect? What effect did an o-ring have on space shuttle Challenger? The defective hand was almost mitigated by using a finger grip which reduced leverage and ultimately diminished power output. Completion of this task required fundamental textbook form. The benefit of this program comes from repeatable results. Changing what worked so succinctly for the sake of completion wasn't worth continuing. The experience behind this event was analogous to traversing the primary, secondary, and advanced educational institutions. Complete the requirements and move on to the next grade or level. Some drop out opting for GEDs while others move on to advanced degrees. Either way, the opportunity is always there. The end is just the beginning.
Never attempting a task of this magnitude, I forced myself to enter with confidence. Support structure was starting to show the induced stress around min 40 or so. Refusing to quit, Benchmark Charlie gave 60 reps in 60 minutes, 60 opportunities to go to battle for the greater good of the war, proving to only yourself how far the limit can be pushed. Charlie might be my new best friend by giving me a feeling of large accomplishment, however, nowhere near the ultimate finish line - perfection unattainable.
Just to clarify, a full front squat is or is not required during each "clean"? To me full extension doesn't signify a squat clean, only that the hip be open and the load controlled before the jerk.
wow.

Were these cleans, power cleans, or your basic G2O as the body tires ??? I'm wanting to try this one it looks brutal towards the end.

Clean and jerk, standards here: Full extension on the cleans, no press or push press, and weight must be jerked overhead.
ReplyDelete10-4 squat cleans will be performed and the weight will be split jerked. When I decide to do it. I'll send the info back.
ReplyDeleteJust to clarify, a full front squat is or is not required during each "clean"? To me full extension doesn't signify a squat clean, only that the hip be open and the load controlled before the jerk.
ReplyDeleteI specifically did power cleans. Either will work though.
