Clean technique rehearsal

then...

With a continuously running clock, perform one manmaker the first minute, two the second minute, three the third, etc. Do this until you can't beat the clock. 25-30lbs is plenty.

**Don't perform the row normally done with a manmaker. I have eliminated it for the sake of speed.

Character Builders

Here are a few interesting workouts I did on my own last week.

#1
GI Jane (from the main CrossFit page)
This is 100 burpee pull-ups for time. I estimate my pull-up bar was 8-8.5 feet tall.
then...
200 meter sprints X 5 w/90seconds in between intervals.

#2
3 rounds for time
run about .75 miles
70lb heavy bag cleans X 20
push-ups X 50
squats X 50

**Right before the LSU/ Arkansas game. The fatigue and endorphins softened the blow (a little).
