Any version of a clean is acceptable (power or full), and any version of shoulder-to-overhead is acceptable (push jerk, split jerk, or push press . . . or even press, but that's just ridiculous).Option 2:10 min AMReAP of:10 1-arm DB Hang Power Snatches, 50#/30# (5R, 5L)10 1-arm DB Hang Power Clean and Jerks, 50#/30# (5R, 5L)10 Push-ups10 Jumping SquatsThe snatches are split evenly between right-hand and left-hand, but they can be completed in any manner desired (e.g., 5R-5L, R-L-R-L-…, etc.).
