The Crossfit guys seem to be doing mostly a power clean with a slow-ish deadlift on the front and a squat on the end. They seem to catch the bar in a power clean position and then deliberately drop into a squat, as opposed to the competition guys who are squatting all the way to get under a heavy bar.






That's because Crossfitters are (often) doing cargo cult cleans. It's the appearance of a full clean without understanding what a full clean is meant to do.
