And here’s the finishing position of the clean. Elbows need to be up and not digging into the thighs when you’re in the squat. Rolling the bar to the fingers will help if you start feeling pain in the wrists.

From there everyone was put into teams of two and the torture metcon work commenced!

Workout: Eight 3 minute rounds of…

Jump Rope
Hang Squat Cleans + Press
Rest

One minute per station. The number of reps completed for the Hang Squat Clean + Press counts as your score. Some people may think that a good metcon workout needs many different exercises, but with demanding movements such as the Olympic lifts you don’t need a laundry list of other exercises for an effective workout.

RESULTS!!

The winner was Ewunike with a total of 86 reps with Chris S. coming in second with 82 reps!!
