Clean PR by 20#

I feel like things are clicking, like I am starting to figure out the Olympic squat position a little. What I think helped: ass-to-grass squats and OHS over the past few weeks. Anyway, I went to Elm City Crossfit tonight and the WOD was awesome.

Strength: 15 minutes to achieve max clean
3 x 65#
1 x 95
1 x 115
1 x 135
1 x 145 (old PR)
1 x 155
1 x 160
F x 165
1 x 165 (PR)
F x 170

I got really close to cleaning 170#, but my elbows collapsed and time ran out. Next time I think I will get it. Vin (coach) pointed out that I tend to lose my posture a little (letting the shoulders roll forward, scapulae get loose, etc). So that's something to work on.

Then, 3 rds for time:
25 pull-ups
25 split squat (alternating)
25m bear crawl
TIME: 6:54

Pull-ups still slow, but I got 21 in a row today -- another personal best! Video clip of the WOD here.
