Post Clean Loads and Workout Time to Comments
For the strength segment, first perform 5 sets of double rep Hang Cleans from above the knee at roughly 85% of your full Clean 1RM.  Once you’ve completed these sets, keep the same load perform 8 reps of a Clean and Jerk from the floor.  Receive the bar in a full front squat on all reps. These are for technique, rather than for PRs.  In fact, you should not be missing many reps due to heavy load.  Rest roughly 1-2 minutes between attempts. 

For the conditioning workout, hold the plate with both arms fully locked out overhead.  Back knee should make contact with the floor.  Be sure to take a big step with the front foot and plant your heel on the floor.  Knee should not go too far past the toe, if at all.
