When I see elite Oly lifters it looks like they are bouncing out of the bottom. I can do this with a low bar back squat when my hamstrings are tight, but when doing a front squat i feel like I'm static in the bottom. Is there a common fix for this? |

Question for Greg or anyone else,
Is there an ideal ratio of one's clean weight to DL weight? I maxed out at 400lbs on DL a couple of weeks ago, and last night for the CF WOD I maxed out at 225 for the clean. Is this a good ratio, or with improved clean technique should my clean weight be higher?
Thanks in advance for your answer. |

Mark -
If you're static/have no hamstring tension in the bottom, you're collapsing down there. Stay tight - just because you're going full depth doesn't mean you can release the tension on your muscles. |

Eric -
Totally depends on what you're training for. If you're a weightlifter, you should expect your clean to be a much higher percentage of your deadlift; if you're a generalist or other athlete, you'll have a larger gap. So for the latter, you're OK. For a weightlifter, I'd want to see that clean a bit higher. |

Front squat - 78% x 3 x 5 - 195#
Snatch pull - 103% (of snatch) x 3 x 3 - 195#
Rack jerk - heavy single - 205#
For time:
50 m sprint
15 burpees
50 m sprint
10 burpees
50 m sprint
5 burpees
2:30
It's raining outside so I changed the 50m run to 3x50ft suicides. Not fun.
