>Yesterday I had the pleasure of spending the day at Team MDUSA practice. The highlight of the day, and one of the coolest things I’ve seen in person, was Tom Sroka hitting a PR Clean & Jerk of 200kg. Yes, boys and girls, I said TWO-HUNDRED kilos—that’s FOUR-HUNDRED and FOURTY pounds.

Possibly the best part of this lift was the fact that this was Tom’s FIFTH attempt at 200kg. He had Cleaned 200kg four times, and missed the Jerk, over the course of about 15 minutes. No one in the room thought he could possibly make the lift on his fifth attempt, but Tom just could not let it go.

  2. so for the conditioning… when it says work 2:1, does that mean double the volume? 40 calories and 30 burpees?

  3. Hey guys

    Quick noob questions: “heaviest possible” – would this be a linear or a ladder set to the heaviest possible? Any feedback on this would be appreciated.

    • Yes, if you can do 190kg you have to do:
      20kg – 30kg – 40kg – 50kg – 60kg – ……
      All the way up to 190kg, that is one way..

      Or just warm up, and when you reach a weight where you think you might fail but complete it, THEN you start counting the first set. And ADD weight for the next!

    • everyone does this a bit different. A good guideline is to try and keep your working sets at least around 75-85%, going as heavy as good technique will allow that day. With longer sets (7), the last few should be approaching true max effort for the given complex.

  4. I guess that answers the question about an immovable object and an unstoppable force.

  5. I only have a water rower with no calorie calculation. I realize there’s not a distance to calorie equivalent but what’s an average distance I can do for the conditioning?

  8. So does this mean that making contact with the bar right after being in the “arched angel” is acceptable? And that you now accept the fact that there is an “arched angel” position? Lulz.
