Clean and Jerk/ Power Cleans

Today I was feeling a little rough, Tired, My body was a little achy but I knew that I needed to get a training session in.
Warm up - Typical Rolling session followed by some Mobility.
Child's Pose - with and w/o T-spine Flex to allow for the Posterior Capsule of the shoulder to be relaxed. 1x10 w/ 2 sec hold followed by a cross body reach with supination of the hand to really allow the complex to open up. 1x10e with 2 sec hold. Jerks and my Teres Minor/Major have a very tight love/hate relationship. Knowing how this relationship is I did my own special warm up for my shoulders. I use a 1/2" band tied to a rack and sit back into a  child's pose with the band secured over my hand. From there I perform Bicep curls which pulls my forearm/shoulder into a some what "rack position. This motion allows the serratus to pull my scaupla onto my ribs and frees up some range of motion for my GH joint.

Iso Squat w/ bar on thigh's :30s
Clean Grip RDL- Below Knee x5
Clean Grip Pulls x5

Power cleans felt great I wanted to keep doing cleans but my shoulders were very unhappy with the jerks. I decided I wasn't feeling great so I shouldn't keep going heavy in cleans. I have not done a Power Version of cleans in the longest time. The last time I went to max for a Power Clean from the floor I got up to 140k. That was about 4-5 months ago. I was feeling great on the 120k clean so that is when I decided to go for 130k. Video Below. Go Lift Heavy!
