Nan and Clean and Jerk + Cindy:
Teri and Laura F. reached their 100th WOD this week. The WOD’s fly if you’re having fun!
Power Clean and Jerks = Fun. It’s that simple. It’s all about speed, triple extension (ankles, hips and knees), long arms, pull under the bar, and fast elbows. Want a demo? Watch the technique video below of Pyrros “Midas” Dimas, winner of 3 Olympic Golds, 3 World Golds and numerous other medals. The video shows a progessively slower sequence of a beautiful power clean that is truly speed and power. Note the position and technique in the slower frames.
