Post heaviest loads for each EMOM to comments.
Scaling:
Today’s effort is meant to challenge your barbell cycling with a heavier load. Increase the load across as many sets as possible, building to your heaviest sets of 5, 3, and 1. The sets of 5 and 3 are meant to be unbroken (touch and go). You will be limited in load based on your technical competence with the clean and jerk. Start light, dial in technique, and increase load as you develop quality movement patterns. Use the remaining time in each minute to rest and/or add load to the barbell.
