A Novel Approach To Training For The Sig Klein Challenge :

I was doing clean and press singles with the 75s, on the last set deciding to press for reps.

After 5 presses, on a whim I decided to clean the bells again, and did another 3 presses a little fresher for the press that way.

I realized that I could keep the clean count low, train up to 15 presses to use as the standby (yes that’s overshooting), then add the cleans into the set backfilling, and going less and less presses per clean until I’ve got the Sig Klein challenge.

This is much easier mentally for me than approaching it with heavier and heavier sets of 12 c&p where I last did the 60s.

Here I’m just pressing (that’s easy), which with dumbbells actually needs more work than the clean (the opposite of on a barbell), and will be sneaking cleans in until completed.

Easy as pie.
