    First time doing both of these type movements; I was very concerned about form so I didn't push the # of reps goal too much.

    56 cleans, 75 presses.

    Presses were fun. Cleans felt awkward! 🙂

    Thanks, Jenni!

    Agreed, the cleans feel very awkward.

    Still working with light weights, 13 lbs, so my reps were high.

    69 cleans
    91 presses

    Ok I'm thinking I did something wrong. Was this timed?? I just did as many reps as I could each round without timing then rested 10 seconds. REally feeling like I messed up somehow
    202 cleans, 124 pressses

    and yes! awkward on the cleans

    Sarah – Yes, it was timed: 20 seconds of Cleans, counting how many reps, then rest 10 sec. Then 20 seconds of Push, counting how many reps, then rest 10 seconds. End of set. Repeat 7 more times.
    Your #s do seem high to me, but I am VERY new to this still and s-l-o-w. So you may have done it fine. Regardless, you got a good workout in!!! 🙂 Nice job!

    Running T thanks for the clarification! I'm very new as well so I'm still learning! I just KNEW I was doing something wrong 🙂 I just reread and now I see the 20 seconds – how could I have missed that?!

    Are Power cleans, and "hang" power cleans the same thing? I'm still new to this and not sure of what everything is.
    Thanks

      Hi Sarah! Welcome!
      A clean always means a movement where you are taking the weight from the floor to your shoulders. So a squat clean you add a squat to the movement and a hang clean means you start from a standing position with the weights "hanging" from your arms and then "clean" them to your shoulders with no squat. There is a video demo on the full site. 🙂

    Question: is it normal to feel your mid back working during these exercises along with your arms?? Cause I'm feeling it in my legs, arms and back. Just want to make sure I'm getting the proper form down. 🙂

      I would say that you should feel it in your legs and arms the most but not too much in your back. I try to avoid feeling it in my back.

    20# weight, but used 10 #dumbells. That probably makes it easier somehow.

    45# bar (all I have or else I'd done less, hate starting off with such a high wgt since i might hurt myself and DEFINITELY feeling it! ouch! anyhow)

    49 cleans 55 presses

    cleans are awkward to get the motion right.

    I used a 20 lb. bar and did 46 cleans and 64 presses. This is my first time doing these so I was focusing on form, only my 2nd cross fit workout. But loved it and will do more next time around! 🙂
