Thursday 11/5/09 CrossFit West Houston

Mike Bergner of Mike’s Gym teaching the second pull of the Power Clean. This is an area we all need to improve. When doing cleans I see a lot of muscling of the weight rather than using the jump and shrug to make the bar weightless for a brief moment. This makes it easier to drop underneath the bar.

    AGGHHH!!! I hadn’t even done the math- I was just going to do this one cold turkey and not think about it.

    Thanks Ryan- now I’m getting anxious about this one….

    200 squats no problem! What is all this running about?

    Or is the 800m run at the end not part of the 4 rounds at the end?

      The runs are part of the WOD. The stopwatch begins with the start of the 800m run, then finishes after the 2nd 800 m run. The 4 rounds of DB Snatch and Squats is the meat of the 800m sandwich. :)

    This WOD looks awsome… Are the 800m part of the 4 round?

    oh ok good, I thought we were running an 800 each of the 4 rounds, plus one to warm up on.

    I wasn’t sure what weight to use, but I didn’t struggle much with this.
