In this video filmed at a crossfit competitors course at crossfit park city eric o connor and chris spealler show how to use the clean in workouts that test speed and conditioning rather than just max strength and power.
I actually thought this was going to be a log event so still pretty happy with the 8 reps in 60s.
We re encouraged to drop heavy weights sometimes from a deadlift but sometimes from overhead.
Crossfit isn t known for being gentle on the floor.
The event s goal is to provide a fun fair and challenging competition for all levels of competitors from total newbies to regional and games athletes.
Amrap floor to overhead in 60sec at 175lb 115 for women.
Effort is good some technical.

With a light load a high elbows rack position isn t needed because you just have to get your elbows in front of the bar for the rep to count.
On the day 74 5kg.
