It's a new video uploaded by Elliott on how to Power clean from his previous video on (Power Clean Workout: Strength and Power)
I've always been wanting to build overall strength on my body since I feel very weak for the size of body I have. Therefore, I've been training with more compound movements and more power movements such as power clean for awhile. However, power clean is one exercise that is really really really hard to learn how to do it right if you don't have someone to watch how you perform the exercise. It took me a very long time in my garage to practice them since I didn't want to make a fool out of myself by 'trying' to power clean at the gym when I have no freaking idea how to perform them properly.
So far, I can power clean 225 but not multiple times because my grip fails on me. I've been also training with Fat Gripz to build my grip strength in order to perform more pulling exercises without using lifting straps. We'll see how that's really going to improve the necessary strength to better myself.
It's day 4 and my last day of Compound Exercise Overload : Dead Lift today.
My back is very weak and fatigued due to 3 straight days of intense DLs, but it sure feels a lot thicker and tighter. Maybe it's due to my back muscle not being stretched out properly... I should have my brother do a full back massage for me tomorrow. After today's workout I'll take 2 days off (sunday and monday) from doing any sort of lifting exercises... I'll maybe do some light jump ropes to add cardio.
Then, I'll be doing CEO : Bench Press.
For the BP, I'll be setting my bench at home with safety bar low enough so it is at my chest level and push the weight straight up from my chest 3 times per set instead of racking the bar to the top notch. Since that'll cut out some time from 30seconds of precious resting time and I think it will help me generate more power by just pushing the weight up (or pushing myself away from the weight) and serve better purpose of this CEO routine. Ofcourse, I'll have to rack the bar so when I need to drop some weights from it.
4 days of CEO : BP (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday) 2 Days of rest (Saturday and Sunday)
4 days of CEO : Squat (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) 2 days of rest (Friday and Saturday)
after that I'll be doing my regular exercises with finishing sets of "barbell power complex" exercises and on the last day of the each week, I'll perform CEO exercises.
the schedule after CEO will be something like this.
Sunday: Chest / Tri + BPC
Monday: Legs / Abs + BPC
Tuesday: Back / Bi + BPC
Wednesday: Cardio only
Thursday: Shoulder / Abs + BPC
Friday: Chest / Tri / Abs + BPC
Saturday: CEO DL
Sunday: OFF DAY
and alternate my last 7th day routine from CEO DL to CEO BP and onto CEO Squat
Let's see how this will be like!!!
