#WorkoutWednesday- When performing the one arm assisted hang clean, slightly bend your knees and partially sit your hips backward so that your knees and hips are bent roughly 15 degrees. Explode upward while simultaneously using your arm to pull the dumbbell up to your same-side shoulder so the dumbbell ends up in front of your shoulder with your elbow below it. As you attempt to bring the dumbbell to your shoulder, grab the back end of the dumbbell with your other hand to create some assistance and ensure the dumbbell gets where you want it.

#WorkoutWednesday- When performing an exercise with double kettlebells, like the double kettlebell swing, you will be swinging a heavier load with a narrower stance. One thing of note is that two kettlebells could throw you off balance, so you may need to lean back from your ankles, not your lower back, at the top of the swing. However, during the hike pass, you will need to shift your weight back to the center of your feet. Additionally, depending on how heavy they are, the height of the kettlebells at the top of the swing could be anywhere from your chest height down to your waist area.

#TechniqueTuesday-Box jumps are a simple, yet effective way to improve explosive power through the hips and legs, as well as deceleration. Start by placing your feet about hip or shoulder width apart and explode up toward the ceiling, creating triple extension through the ankles, knees, and hips. The goal is to land on the box in the same or similar position as the starting stance.
