Clean & Jerks and Deadlifts (and more)

What a great workout!
I started with just the bar and kept adding 10-20 lbs each set......I began with clean & jerks until I could jerk no longer.....then I just did cleans until I could no longer front squat the weight.......then on to power cleans (yeah, I know....I should be able to clean more than I can power clean...I'm working on it)......and then I did deadlifts until I was dead.
45 lbs to 335 lbs in 10-20 lbs increments.

About Your Trainer

Hi! I'm Patrick Frey, your in-home, online and on-the-trail Personal Trainer, Fitness Educator, and Strength & Conditioning Specialist. With over 35 years of fitness experience, and certifications from the National Strength and Conditioning Association, the International Sports Sciences Association, and the American Council on Exercise, I have the knowledge and experience you need to reach your health and fitness goals. My interests over the years have included running, bicycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, backpacking, bodybuilding, powerlifting, olympic lifting, volleyball, and general health, fitness and nutrition. I've trained hundreds of people of all ages and abilities from elite athletes to sedentary couch potatoes, in everything from well equipped gyms to un-equipped homes, online, in the park and on the trails. To me, there's nothing more exciting than helping people improve their health, look better, feel better, or improve their sports performance.
