Split Clean
Today we will learn how to split clean. The split clean actually pre-dates the squat clean and can be beneficial to those who have mobility issues. This movement is accepted from a CrossFit Open standpoint as well (at least it was last year). It does require a bit faster foot work and recovering the feet is quite similar to the foot recovery in a split jerk. Let’s learn it and see how you do!
