Caleb hits full extension during the clean/pull-up/run workout on 9/7/2010. Full extension is an important part of clean. Do you think you looked like this at one point during your cleans today? If you know you did not, why were you unable to hit full extension of the hips?

WORKOUT 9/8/2010
Strength:
Max rep strict pull-ups x 3 (rest as needed between efforts)
Conditioning:
One round = Start a four minute running clock. Perform a static overhead squat hold for as long as you can. When you dump the weight, do 10 star jumps. Repeat until the four minute clock runs out. At the end of the round, rest 2 minutes and repeat for a total of three rounds.
There is no score for this workout. The goal is to hold the static overhead squat position for as long as possible. Men use a weight up to 95#. Women use a weight up to 65#.
Star Jumps: From a squat position, jump as high as you can with your arms and legs outstretched. Alex in a pretty good star jump:
The most famous star jump picture of all time... Javier should wear a jock strap.

Jor always sends me the craziest video links....post your thoughts to comments.
My quads were on FIRE during this workout. Thanks to Stroud who made us roll our quads out. But even with the rolling, my quads still feel alittle sore. I'm reminded of this workout everytime I walk up any stairs.. (I work on the second floor and I live on the second floor). Nice.

Holy crap! I did this in my backyard (Sonoma) with just 55 pounds and I wanted to die.
The second half of the workout was done on autopilot. Talk about dazed and confused!
Oh yeah, I'm feeling it today from my neck to my knees. Good times. ;-)
