Question: on the first part of B…each set is 5 reps of the tall clean, FS, jerk complex? And not a tall clean, a FS and 5 jerks?

It is tall clean + FS + Jerk as a complex and you do that complex 5 times 🙂

It is the same. I have had 2 cortisone shots in the last 9 months and can’t seem to beat it. Usually if I stretch and warm up it is not to bad. My big problem is strict weighted Pull ups. Always sets it on fire. If you have any advice I would greatly appreciate it.

I do not think the two are affiliated. Rocklin is in the foothills (or close ) of the sierra Nevada mountains
