Open Workout 13.4 has been announced!

A couple of tips for 13.4:

  • Range of Motion for the Clean & Jerk - The barbell MUST make contact with the shoulders, such that the lift is in two distinct phases, the clean, and then the jerk. The movement finishes with the elbow, shoulder, hips and knees fully extended, and the bar directly over the body with the feet in line.
  • Range of Motion for the Toes to Bar - Both feet must be in contact with the bar at the same time, inside the hands. The arms and hips must be fully extended at the bottom and the feet must be brought back behind the bar and behind the body.
  • The second time is a charm - Most of you will recover quickly from this workout. As long as your hands don't tear on the toes to bar, you should be able to repeat this workout. I think this is a workout that many of you will realize after your first attempt that you can grab a few more reps in a second effort. If those reps are worth it, do it.
