- Deadlifts 2x5 (~5-10% higher than last workout)

*Note: In CrossFit parlance, unless otherwise specified, "cleans" means "squat cleans". I.e. the crease of the hip must go below the top of the knee at some point while the bar is in the "catch" position. If you catch it high, do your squat after catching it.

For Gettin' Stronger, we do cleans for weight. That means catch the bar as low as you need to in order to move the most weight. And if that's a power clean, you need to work on your squat cleans so you can move more weight!
