“The deadlift is more functional in that it’s very hard to imagine a more useful application of strength than picking heavy shit up off the ground.” Mark Rippetoe
The top time for this workout at the '08 games was 2:46!
WOD
Warm-up
30 reps for time of:
Clean and Jerk 155#/100#
Each rep starts from the ground. The crease of the hip must go below the knee each rep. So if you power clean the bar, you must do a front squat before you do the jerk. You may also thruster the bar out of the front squat if you have the strength.
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.
Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.
Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.
Regularly learn and play new sports.
