I'm guessing it's a full squat?

donkey said...

Charles: interested to hear the answer from the Bosses, but C&J is the only exception I've seen to the "if you don't see Power, assume it's full squat" rules.

Jason Lyons said...

agreed with donkey but for most humans, your max clean will be dictated by the need to squat.

those that can do more by doing a power clean need to practice cleans more.

Aimee Lyons said...

N ditto the Jason Lyons comment.

Charles said...

That's what I thought. I PRed my clean and jerk sataurday, so I guess it's jerks for me. We shall see. And yes, working on mobility so I can squat better and catch it in the rack.

Nice work everyone! Remember to push yourself under that bar!

Melanie said...

Bummed I am missing today's WOD. I love both of those moves so it would have been hard to pick!

Since I can't make it to the box today, I just did max push-ups in my office and got 43. Woot!!!

Unknown said...

Nice work Mel! 43 is a good number.

Here's something that some Crossfitters might be interested in:

A Zombie infested 5K Obstacle Course race
I didn't hear about it until today and registration for the Philly/Baltimore event closes tomorrow, but if anyone is interested in it, shoot me an e-mail.

Tidmore said...

Doing the Zombie race with a bunch of friends and camping the night of if anyone is interested.

Jon Schell said...

Seriously, that zombie race looks absolutely incredible. I would go if my shins were conditioned for a 5k but I'm already battling shin splints from our regular jaunts in the parking lot. I know, sad but true.

Looks like I have a new goal: the 5k.

Unknown said...

Tidmore - I'm trying to convince a few of my buddies to do it, but if I can't, count me in.

Really nice efforts tonight, some huge PRs, and some people really working to improve their form! Nice work on opening those hips, people. Also, kudos on pushing yourselves hard at the end for the pushups (pun fully intended). Finally, welcome to Westside, boys of Scranton. You guys were great sports tonight.
