Pictured is a top set of a hang power clean, still not moving amazingly but we're getting better each time, once you swipe you'll see a strategy I'm using to rehab some issues with my knee. First I started off implementing shortened position isometrics and then lengthen position isometrics and I still use those as a part of the warm-up protocol, now we're using ultra slow eccentric squatting patterns which was a movement that was recreating pain in prior sessions. The load is drastically reduced in The eccentric is drastically accentuated. We will use this to continue to build up capacity through the tissue.
This was brought about by a moderate size jump in total vertical jumps in the week because of basketball and plyometrics and the tissue just wasn't ready for the stimulus. So we dial it back build up capacity and rebuild.
If you are chasing optimal performance, you will hurt yourself, and the risk of you hurting yourself is always there, but you can be safer, and smarter, and use that time to progress still.
