There’s a new coach in the game. . Have y’all ever heard of Coach Toe-knee-hip? His nickname is Triple Extension 😂😂 . If y’all have ever done cleans at all then y’all know what I’m talking about, if not let me explain.... . So the concept of “triple Extension” occurs in 3 parts of your body that run up the kinetic chain, it starts in your toes, moves to your knees and then ends in your hips, the concept is to full extend all 3 in a very fast, explosive manner in order to maximize your clean efforts and weights. . As your complete or get into triple Extension your upper back to your heels should make the letter “c,” this occurs during triple Extension. . When you are doing this lift, which is very technical, start from the ground and work your way up the kinetic chain. . Cues are: 1) Toes (complete ankle extension) 2) Knees 3) Hips (fast hips) 4) High pull (from the elbows, think about elbowing your biggest enemy in the face) 5) Get under the bar! . As y’all can see, my hips are slow and pretty much non-existent and I don’t trust myself to get under the bar, yes I am working on it, but wooof lol it’s rough! . Yes, there are drills to work these specific elements to the hang or power clean! . I love to do these before my squats to get the blood pumping and get a good sweat going! . Today’s workout: • GHD Hamstring Curl (4x8) • Power Clean (4x6) (5 shown in video) • Front Squat (5, 5, 5, 5) • Hack Bar Deadlifts (3x8) • Weight Hip Thrusts (3x8) .
