Monday Met-Con: Med Ball Cleans

It sometimes takes a bit of criticism from others in the strength & conditioning world, but the med ball clean is certainly a good tool when used in conditioning pieces in order to illicit some serious BURN.

"The medicine ball is somewhat less intimidating than a bar, weighs less and seems to be more suggestive of the practical functionality of the clean than is the clean with the bar. The medicine-ball clean efficiently demonstrates to the developing athlete the critical sequence of the hip accelerating the object to maximum extension, the hip retreating toward the squat, and, finally, the hip squatting the object to full extension." —Greg Glassman (adapted)
