WOD: Squat cleans135/155/185/200/215(PR)/225f/225f, very close-I’ll get it next time!
Pissed at missing 225 twice, immediately dropped to 185x5

First time ever doing this exercise, but I used to front squat a ton about 20 yrs ago.
6 knee operations don’t help, but I’m comfortable with the exercise. I think I might start going back to what I did in the past; after a full warm-up, go right into the heavier PR weights closer to the beginning when I am more fresh, might pick up a few more pounds…we’ll see what happens. Not looking forward to the 8 hours in the car tomorrow, damn.

The pull felt really strong, my issue was getting under the bar far enough to catch it. The arm position wasn't an issue either, just kept telling myself to keep the elbows high. Being it was in the globo, I think I was a little concern about dropping the eight too, but that is another story.

I cracked myself in the chin on the 185, classic, and loved the looks I got/get at the globo…awesome. I cruise around like a man man drenched with sweat while the other 90+% stand and talk, or look at themselves in the mirror. I wish I could afford the local affiliate…
Have fun!
