Okay, missed this at CFit Plano, TX, so I did it at home:
Hang Squat Cleans: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1-1
Increase weight between sets
so it went like:
65lbs
75
85
95
105
115
125 (I think this should have been a failure, but it pissed me off so I just hiked it up and got under it)
130 F (true failure ;-))
115
115
Something about it being from the "hang" position, made this seem harder than I think it would have been normally. Also, this was a workout in the the garage, so I was using hte the wal-mart special weights. I kid thee not.
They have some serious drawbacks compared to the nice bumpers we have at the gym: they are metal, so dropping them is not much of an actual option. That means if I get in trouble and need to dump them, I can't. So, mentally, I don't want to get into situations where I might have to drop them.
They are also shorter (smaller diameter) than typical olympic plates, so deads are pulled from about 2 inches closer to the ground. When you're trying to get your butt and back arch in the right place, that makes a big difference.
Today I think I'll try a version of a workout I saw Kempie post. Should be um, fun!
