Just an FYI

There has been some debate among the group on the form and terminology of some of the Olympic weight lifts that we do in CrossFit. Here is a handy guide from the CrossFit website's FAQ section:

2.15. What's the difference among the clean (and snatch) types?

Squat clean aka Full Clean aka Clean = start from the floor, catch in a full squat.
Hang clean = start from the hang position (above or below the knees), catch in the full squat position.
Power clean = start from the floor, catch in a quarter or half squat position aka the power position.
Hang power clean = start from the hang position above or below the knees, catch in the quarter or half squat.
"Hang" describes where you start.
"Power" describes where you catch.
