At the Olympic lifting class on Tuesday, we discussed some terminology with regards to the clean and snatch. I think everyone could benefit from knowing what all those terms mean. Click the example to see the movement in action.
Hang – refers to the start position (dip between top of knees and mid-thigh). Example – Hang Clean
High Hang – refers to the start position (dip above mid-thigh). Example – High Hang Clean
Power – refers to the landing position (anything above a squat) Example – Power Clean
Squat – refers to the landing position (anything below a squat) Example – Squat Clean
Muscle – pulling a bar into position without landing (stiff legs at the top) Example – Muscle Clean
Split – refers to the landing position (when legs split into a lunge) – Example – Split Clean
“Nail It”
With a 10 minute time cap, accumulate as much time as possible in a plank.
Great extension on the snatch shrug
I tried texting you..but I don’t think it sent. Sorry for the late notice, but I won’t be in this morning. Little miss must be hitting another growth spurt which results in me getting up a lot last night. Sorry for the late notice. M

Big time mental blockage on the clean. Thinking too much about too much stuff. The olympic lift sessions should fix that.
Good WOD, could’ve kept rests a bit shorter I think. Good job 5h30 peeps!
One Oly lift class has already helped me A LOT! I get into trouble when I “over think” the moves too.
Still putting up some impressive weight. You must be doing something right…

Had to find my inner peace for this one haha ! I sarted with a 1min plank and than two 30sec planks. I continued with 20sec planks for the remaining time except the last one that I was able to hold for 40sec… despite the fact that my entire body was shaking ! I only took 10sec break so I think I really pushed myself on this one
Good job everybody
*Maria and Heather = WOW !!!
Good job on hitting the 7 mins!
Nice work Chantal. Way to tough it out!

What the hell is going on in here??? I see 7+, 8+, 9+ and even a 10 MINUTE UNBROKEN???
I’m away for work, but had to give this a try. Got 7:22 which I’m really happy with, but I’m still mad at all of you for getting such high score
We have done a WOD with a 5 min plank before. And there were a few people that reached the 5 minutes unbroken. So I thought I’d step it up a bit and make it for 10 minutes. But I didn’t think that ANYONE would do that unbroken! I guess we’ll have it as 15 minutes next time!
15 Minutes!! Now THAT’s ridiculous!

Kevin helped me improve this lift. Arms and legs are straight and then flex the hips in to the shoulder shrug. I like whatever Ipad app it that was that allowed you to analyze and correct the lift.
