Post highest successful Squat Clean Thruster to Comments/LogWOD
Video courtesy of Rogue Fitness. Matt Chan showing the proper technique for a Squat Clean Thruster, or “Cluster” as he calls them. So, the bar will start on the ground, you will go into a full (squat) clean, but instead of just standing up, you will go from the bottom of the squat into a Thruster. Move as heavy a load as you can.

If you cannot complete the double unders in any round during the minute, when the next minute starts, you will finish the reps for the round you were in, and then rest until the timer goes off again. Your round count will only e the number of rounds completed in the 10 minutes, so for every round you don;t get done, you don;t count in your number. Make sense?
