Alright, today is another one of those benchmark WODs, another infamous evil girl - Grace!
Today's WOD is a metric of your power and technique.
GRACE:
30 Clean and Jerk at 135# / 95#
The videos show a variation of attempts at Grace. The first one shows a pretty fast, good paced attempt. His form is good. The last video, the guy has pretty bad form, I put it on as an example to watch out for. Try not to bend your back over, take a good deadlift stance at the bottom, keep a good lower lumbar curve, generate power with hip extension and a good trap pull, before pulling yourself under the bar to catch it on the front rack. Remember that your press or jerk ends with you standing fully up, arms locked out, bar under control. Don't begin to drop the bar early for speed or short yourself with bent arms.
