-Bar cannot be placed on the ground, except between rounds, even to re-grip. Squats must break parallel. It is acceptable to go from the squats to the push press (thruster), but the clean and front squat are separate movements.
Joining CrossFit Topeka has been one of the best decisions I have ever made. I originally started attending the workouts because I saw it on TV and I needed a break from my normal routine in the gym; lifting weights and not really feeling like I was improving my health. The first few weeks were a huge reality check for me. CrossFit will push you to your limits and force you to use muscles you didn't even know you had! Over the course of five months, I was able to increase my strength, flexibility, endurance, and overall health. On top of being a great way to stay in shape, the environment and people who attend these classes are incredibly positive and supportive. Owners, Roger and Becky, are two of the nicest people I have ever met. They are excellent motivators and know how to bring out the best in you. CrossFit workouts have become an important part of my life and I plan to continue them in the future.
