Just a thought. Assuming the primary focus is strength
Something I had neglected to mention the other day (finding I do some of my best proofreading after hitting "post")--keep in mind that were we to swap out double cleans in lieu of double snatches, the actual volume of reps would be relatively low for the session. After all, since pure strength is the stated pursuit and since we've already paid our dues with RoP, the days of re-cleaning before each press are over. This makes the pressing even tougher, since we don't get that "reset" before each rep.
If strength is the primary focus, re-cleaning between each rep would, in essence, be making things easier. And if we were merely going to clean once before each rung on the press ladder, I'd think such a paltry number of cleans would be negligible to what we'd be after (particularly since we'd already be "cleaned-out" from the ballistic training blocks).
A big power movement like a double snatch, though--that's the ticket.
For me being time-efficient is important. That's why I prefer always clean and press.although the limiting factor would be not everyone has the skill to double snatch a pair of heavy bells..
for further discussion, programs such as the total tension complex and moving target complex both don't require you to reclean before each press
although the limiting factor would be not everyone has the skill to double snatch a pair of heavy bells..
Since we're ruling out any pre-existing medical condition preventing a trainee from performing the drill and it is solely a lack of skill, then respectfully, this trainee probably has no business following RotKB. The prerequisites are there for a reason.
