At 20:10 last night I was in the shower in the gym after my 5x5 workout. The matrix could have melted and I would not have noticed

Burpee power cleans are a strange exercise.

WTF?

Now obviously Burpee+ exercises are cool, but cleans?
Thats a frickin recipe for disaster.

Complication for the sake of complication. From a MetCon standpoint I imagine they're a total suck fest. Don't know why you'd bother tho.

Anyone ever done power cleans starting on your knees? There's a strange exercise, but a good un.

Nope.
I have done the jumping squats from knees or whatever they are called.
Cleans would be the next thing on the progression I'd imagine.

I tried cleans with light dumbells once and hit myself in the face.
True story.

Bit confused, isn't a powerclean starting from the deadlift position..
Can you use MS Paint to explain WTF you are on about :pac:

Technically yes.
But a kneeling clean you start in a kneeling position and jump from it rack the bar and land on your feets.

I'm working on finding a vid, but if you look at yesterdays entry on crossfit.com there is a video called 56 inches of fame.
There are some in that.

Also Hanley, POWER clean?

Yup, that's how I started them. I couldn't get the full movement right so I started from the knees to get used it; only started doing them from the ground recently, and they're still not great - but it definitely helped!

Ahhhh ye mean kneeling down? I thought you just meant starting with the bar at your knees as opposed to on the ground.

ragg · 23-07-2010 11:14PM

Just tried that with my foam roller - messy

Yeah, power. Jez the effort of having to be so precise about everything around here!!

That video yesterday's fcuking bullsh!t btw. Fair play to the guy for jumping that high, but there's lots of people going higher. I absolutely DESPISE the way Crossfit'ites use the whole "well if you think you can do it, you set the record" excuse. I'm pretty sure there's a tonne of vids on youtube of guys going higher.

I'm a pedantic dick, its my thing that I do.:D
Imagine having the hips to make a kneeling power clean.

I hear Chuck Norris can do a kneeling split clean.

Whatever about that video, I don't give a **** about CrossFit inc nonsense, I just like seeing dudes with huge hops.
