Vocabulary for the Olympic Lifts:
Some of us have been reading the CrossFit main site and said once or twice, "What the fuck!?! Is it a Clean or a Squat Clean?" Well, I am here to "clean" up all the mess of confusion to make your CrossFitting experience that much more understandable. First of all, the word (Squat Clean) is a more simple way that CrossFit uses to describe the receiving position in the specific exercise. It's much easier to explain so people stop freaking out and blowing up the blog asking, "Do I catch in a full or partial squat?".
I am a traditionalist and I do as the workout says. If I see only the word Clean or Snatch, you can bet your fanny that I will be dropping in the full squat to receive that bar, unless stated otherwise.
I'm going to kick it off starting the bar from the Hip down to the floor:
Hang (1): The beginning of the lift begins in the High Hang Position (the hip) down to the top of the knee caps, maintaining straight arms.
Power (2): This is the position that you will receive the bar. Whether the bar starts from the ground or the high hang, the power position will be caught in a partial squat. The Power position can be received anywhere between a slight bent hip all the way to a parallel squat (the hip will not pass the knee caps in the squat).
Muscle (3): This movement has the most power exerted from the hip out of the triple extension to bring the bar to any receiving position without squatting. A Muscle Clean starts from the floor and is jumped up into the front rack position. There is ZERO bending of the hip to receive the bar once it has passed the pockets of your pants and have come to full extension with the body.
Clean/Snatch (4 and 5): These are considered full movements. You will start from the floor bringing the bar to a maximum height. Then, receiving the bar in the full squat with a Front Rack or Over Head catch depending on the type of lift and returning it back up to a full standing position.
**Remember, if you add an additional exercise before it, you will only catch in the full squat position. The name(s) before the exercise will dictate the bars starting and receiving positions.
Mix and Match:
I will state the numbers and you will add the word that is next to it with a starting and ending point. I would go over back and refer to the definitions and read the meaning of them to truly understand how these exercises would be performed.
Example: 1/4 =? Hang Clean [starts at the hip and ends in the full squat catching in the clean or front rack position].
#1. (1/2/4)
#2. (2/5)
#3. (3/4)
#4. (3/5)
#5. (2/4)
#6. (1/2/5)

Not bad Liz!! The only errors were on #5 and 2. They were both correct, accept when it says Power C/S they both start from the floor rather than varied. But great job!
