Shoulders in your ears

Active Shoulders

Hang power clean 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
*each of these hang power cleans should be at or above 80% of your 1RM. If you don’t know your 1RM, then find something that is challenging to lift once and try to add a few pounds each attempt. Give yourself a couple minutes rest between attempts.

Unlimited:

30-20-10 V-ups
Rest as needed between sets, but aim for unbroken sets. If you score less than 30, for example, on the first set, aim for 20 the next set. If you want to make up your missed reps, wait until after the 3 rounds.

3/week:

4 rounds for time:
Row 300m
15 V-ups
