Power Clean Power Test15 min

2 Depth Drop to Broad Jumps
Build to a heavy single for the day.
Score: Heaviest successful power clean.
EXPLOSIVE POWER
Stimulus
- Overview: This is the final heavy test of the power cycle. The goal is an aggressive pull, fast turnover, and a strong catch without chasing a lift that makes mechanics fall apart.
- Power Clean: Perform singles from the floor. Reset before every rep and catch above parallel with elbows through quickly.
- Depth Drop to Broad Jump: Step from a low box, land in an athletic position, and jump forward immediately. Reset before the next rep.
- Loading: Build from moderate to heavy. Your best lift should feel fast enough that you would trust it again.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 8-9
- Fitness Attribute Improved: Explosive Power
Strategy
- Take small jumps once the bar reaches 85%. Misses should be rare today; a clean make is more useful than three failed attempts.
- Stay patient off the floor, then finish violently through the legs before pulling under.

AEROBIC POWER [VO2 MAX]
Stimulus
- Overview: A short, punchy finisher after the clean test. The barbell is light enough to cycle smoothly, while the bike keeps the breathing high.
- Hang Power Cleans: Start each set from above the knee. Choose a load you can complete unbroken.
- Lateral Burpees Over Bar: Jump over the bar each rep. Stay low and efficient.
- Bike: The calories should take about 0:45-1:00 each round.
- Intended Intensity: RPE 8-9
- Target Score: 7-9 Minutes
Strategy
- The hang cleans are short sets, so commit to unbroken reps. Control your bike pace enough that you can pick up the bar immediately.
- The workout shrinks quickly. Push harder after the round of 6.
