Ramp up quickly

We've done this type of workout involving pull-ups. It starts out slow and easy, but then is suddenly very difficult. Jason did this one when it appeared on CFHQ. It hasn't been posted here before.

Clean & Jerk progression:
With a continuously running clock do one 135 pound Clean and Jerk the first minute, two 135 pound Clean and Jerks the second minute, three 135 pound Clean and Jerks the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.

Use as many sets each minute as needed.
Track number of minutes completed. Full squat cleans are prescribed.

Results:
  • Seth - 6 minutes + 6 reps in seventh minute, 27 total reps

Holy smokes. Fatigue wasn't too much of a factor until the 7th minute. It just takes me a while to do each rep, apparently 10 secs each when fatigued. Puts a lid on how many reps/minute I can manage.

Maybe if this was a clean-to-thruster...?
