**I love that we’ve been doing a lot of press work from the racks recently, which I hope you’ve been enjoying as well. We’ll build to a heavy jerk, then use a similarly heavy weight for this workout. Take care of those shoulders, though, especially after all the overhead work this week.
Those air squats are a basic movement, but they’ll add up when you realize how much hip drive you need for the jerk. I expect these reps to be singles. And I anticipate the workout lasting no more than 15 minutes. Rep out the squats, stay strong on the (power) clean and jerks.
