Perry, yeah thats a full clean. Power and full squat cleans both start on the floor. Power clean is when you're strong enough to pull the bar high enough to jump under & catch above parallel. And I can tell you I havent seen ANYONE do full clean & jerks in 5's!!! :yikes:

Deb, love the long post. Maybe i should start to post in metrics! Short workout today. Half of Filthy 50. 20.43.

Re: Over 50 Crossfitters Sign In
 

6 sets of back squats: 135 x 20; 185 x 10; 205 x 8; 215 x 5; 225 x 5

6 sets of front squats: 135 x 10 (I hate front squats. Really hurts my wrists and can't breathe with the bar on my collar bones)

4 sets of flat bench: 135 x 12; 205 x 4 (3 sets).

4 sets of incline bench: 185 x 5; 175 x 8; 155 x 10; 135 x 20.

4 sets of dips x 15.

Core workout.

7/25 WOD

Hang Squat Snatch: 1-1-1-1-1-1-1
65-85-85-95-95-105

Pretty sure 105# is PR for squat snatch. Missed on reps at 95 and 105 but kept at them until I got them up. Legit reps, ended by catching bar in squat. These felt good, but it takes a lot of warming up to get there. Long hectic weekend, good to get back to Crossfitting.

Don't know about that "except me" part. You seem to be making great progress!

BTW, Good Job on those Snatches, Claw! To me, doing a Snatch is like trying to walk & chew Gum at the same time!:D

Nope, not true. I haven't snatched, rope climbed or done muscle ups yet. I haven't pulled the trigger and joined a cross fit gym. These moves are next. I have given myself until next summer to learn and become decent at these exercises. Then will try the games.
