“Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the LORD is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations.”- Psalm 100:4-5
Clean and Jerk 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps
Why a Big High Rep Clean and Jerk?
Of the ten general physical skills (cardiorespiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility,balance, and accuracy) the high rep clean and jerk is the only single exercise protocol we know of that can substantially increase all ten!
An athlete able to perform a 225-pound clean and jerk for fifteen reps at a body-weight of 200 pounds is surely “CrossFit”.
That the world’s greatest developer of power and speed isn’t traditionally practiced at higher reps is a shortcoming that cannot be logically explained. (JULY 2003 THE JOURNAL, GREG GLASSMAN)
