C&P Ladders

Wed June 18, 2008

A great nights sleep. Weight: 176 1/4, BF%: 15.2. Wanting to take it easy on my right knee, I decided to focus on grinds, specifically C&P (Clean and Military Press) ladders. I very rarely work on pressing however the RKC Cert was very illuminating in this area and I wanted to reinforce what I had learned there.

Z-Health: Mixture of R-Phase and NWU 2

24 kg x 3 x (1,2,3,4,5) Ascending ROP C&P ladders

I chose to do a clean each rep as again to reinforce all the extra work done on these at the Cert as well. Because my left arm lags my right considerably, I would do the 1st two reps of each rung as a pure C&P and then drop back to C&PP (Clean and Push Press). My right arm had no problems with all C&P.

All negatives on both sides were done Right of Passage (ROP) RKC style by actively pulling the bell down using the lat. This takes considerably more energy but well worth the effort for the carry over to other exercises. Today I was particularly aware of keeping my feet in the same position for the press following the clean .. as was pointed out at the Cert I reshuffled my feet after the clean losing most of presses pre-loading.

The two sets of 9 are a new PR an increase of 1 rep. Not bad considerably I haven't done pull up training since a week before the Cert.
