Angela v Power Cleans

Crossfit Teesside WOD

3 rounds for time

400m run
15 power cleans 42.5kg
20 box jumps 20"

15:42   RXD

THanks to Saturday's clean and jerks I was prepared to tackle the power cleans and managed to do the full weight.  They weren't perfect but they were better than they have ever been.  No failed reps.  I just made myself stay calm, concentrated on not pulling too early (only when reaches hip crease) and it was getting up quite good.  ..The only thing I need to work on now is to not push the bar 'out' and try to get it to go 'up', as Coach C was advising me on Saturday.  I felt the difference when I managed to do this and it felt much more controlled, like picking something up and holding it instead of flinging a barbell at yourself!

Rebounds on the box were good, I only failed once when I stopped to think about it (doh!)
