Cleaning It Up

WOD:

Split Jerk x1 : 135, 185, 205, 215, 225 (current PR), 235 (Almost, but fail, old PR)
Push Press x3 : 155, 175
Clean x1: 135, 185 (Squat), 185 (Split), 205 (Squat), 205 (Split), 225 (Squat), 225 (Split), 235 (Squat), 240 (Split), 245 (Split, -5 PR)

I haven't trained cleans only since I got back in the game, only clean and jerk. When doing the CJ, I noticed I'm not getting under the bar properly. Instead of pulling under into a squat, I was shooting my feet out into a straddle and barely reversing my hips (not good at heavy weight).

So I wanted to practice just cleans today and they felt GREAT. I believe my old PR was 250, so I am close already. Also I tried the split clean, which I think I like more. It's a lot easier to get up from, although you may not be able to get as low. I think this will make it easier to do the jerk afterwards, since my legs won't be so burnt out from squatting ~250lbs.

Met-Con:

5x10 of:
Pullups
55lb Kettlebell Swings
Pushups

A good burner, I struggled during the last two rounds and was toast at the end. Pullups were hard, but all unbroken. Broke last 2 sets of KBS and pushups into 5 and 5. I think I was burnt from the lifting.

EDIT:::

During my post-WOD Trader Joe's shop, I found something made of pure win:
