Post time to comments.

Admittedly, this doesn’t look very challenging without any weight, but you should concentrate on the movement of each rep. The clean and the deadlift are very mental movements and require coordination to get them right. If you have a barbell available, by all means scale up to an empty bar. Below you can watch Gillian Mounsey, who placed third at the 2008 CrossFit Games, put out a beautiful Linda.
