A few days ago, I posted a photo comparison of 4 different clean set-ups. The question that punched through consistently was, “which one is the best?” My answer to that is all of them and none of them. One mold will not fit all, and a better question posed by friend, @wilfleming, was “what are the commonalities you see?”

Comparison of 4 different clean set-ups. Interesting points of observation are variations in stance, grip width and shoulder orientation over the barbell affecting torso inclination.

Great vibe today at CrossFit SkyBox for the clean&jerk workshop. Reports of up to a 30lbs PR were reported today from our snatch workshop just last month! What a great way to spend a Sunday. Can’t wait till our last installment next month.

Fu for thought: Comparison of 2 styles of kettlebell swings. I spotted these 2 athletes wrapping up a WOD at our box and found it interesting the difference in how they used their legs and hips to transfer energy on to the kettlebell. Similar movement patterns can be found in Olympic weightlifting tying them to different styles of pull technique taught by various coaches — both utilized with effective outcomes.
