Squat Cleans: the how to guide

Written by "> | posted in Crossfit: My love/hate relationship | 1 Comment

Tuesday’s workout entailed us doing 1 rep max squat cleans (I only did 185lbs for 3 reps).  Admittedly, my clavicle which I broke years ago has been preventing me from shelving the bar in the front squat position. This is unfortunately limiting the weight i can move in either front squats or cleans. I think I’m going to break down and either wrap the bar with a towel to reduce the stress or use a bar pad (I hope no one laughs at me).

Below are videos which I’ve found to the best at demonstrating a good, squat clean and the theory behind them. Good luck! Post your 1 rep max results to comments. Happy squatting!

Link to a great video here too.
