Odd-object cleans

In our style of training we have something called the "CrossFit 9", a series of movements that are the foundation to being proficient and effective in moving and using our bodies. The first series is "standing up": squat, front squat and overhead squat. The second is "going overhead": press, push press and push jerk. The final series is "getting it off the ground": deadlift, sumo deadlift high-pull and medicine ball clean.

Last night we reviewed the third series and worked mostly on the medicine ball clean. The real-world application of this movement is that of taking something off of the ground and safely (and effectively) getting it to the shoulders for support. From then it's carrying the object elsewhere or placing it onto something.

Repitition is key so they did 40 odd-object cleans for time.

Jason 3:24, 16kg kettlebell

Then after two minutes, they were given new objects:
