“A dog wags its tail,

a bird flaps its wings.

Humans squat, press, jump, and run.

That’s what we do.

We didn’t make this stuff up.”

We hear the term “functional movements” all the time.

Big Clean Complex (6 sets)

6 Sets:

High Hang Squat Clean – Hang Squat Clean – Squat Clean – Push Press

High Hang Squat Clean – Hang Squat Clean – Squat Clean – Push Jerk

High Hang Squat Clean – Hang Squat Clean – Squat Clean – Split Jerk

*Each set consists of completing all 12 reps without dropping the bar. Rest as needed between rounds
*Recipe for a great workout: one part strength, one part cardio, one part technique. Big Clean Complex, a CFNE benchmark, blurs the line between strength training, cardio, and proper mechanics. This holds true to Greg Glassman’s quote, “Blur the distinction between strength training and metabolic conditioning for the simple reason that nature’s challenges are typically blind to the distinction.

**6 Sets of the “Big Clean Complex”

***Goal is to build in weight each set

21-15-9. The most popular rep scheme in all of CrossFit, probably best known from the benchmark workout “Fran”. This descending rep scheme has proven to be quite effective in preserving intensity. By the time we get to the 15’s, the nature of the workout has it feeling similar to the 21’s, but knowing we have 6 reps less to complete keeps us holding on and moving forward. Compare this to three rounds of 21. We would probably have a more conservative plan of attack going in, decreasing the intensity of the workout.

If you’ve ever seen an elite marathon runner in a race or a an olympic lifter move a barbell, you’ve probably awed at how effortless it looks for them. While we often think about the finer details on a movement like the snatch, dialing in our running mechanics makes a huge difference as well. Without maybe knowing it, running uphill is a perfect tool for thinking about technique. Leaning forward and picking up the feel a little quicker allows us to get up the hill quicker and more efficiently. When we get onto flat land, we can use the lessons from the hill to improve our running. Slight lean forward, feet landing under our center of mass, quick foot cadence, and minimal foot contact.
