This is not the name of new cleaning chemical or piece of equipment for cleaning your driveway, but a highly effective progression lift for the Olympic-style clean and jerk. Check out what my friend Mehdi has written about this great lift, one that many consider one of the Top 5 strength and power lifts to do.

It was time to knock out a few sets of these and did just that after practicing my movements with a stick and then an empty bar for the Burgener’s.

Six sets of Power Cleans, at 3 reps each:

95/115/135/155/165/135 and proceeded into 3 sets of 3
Clean & Jerks

145/145/135
