Greg Glassman says that we fail at the 'margins of our experience'. So only by going to margins can we increase our work/tolerance/competence. Thats where we plan to go this month - there will be some new exercises and new formats. Warmup exercises and skills training may be just as important as the WOD because they get things out of 'your margins' before the workout.   Having said all that we start within our margins today for exercise and format, but, I know that 'getting under' a heavy squat clean for most folks is outside our comfort zone. The way to beat this is incrementally - build confidence by doing multiple repetitions of a full squat clean at a weight that is heavy but comfortable. Don't let yourself off the hook by doing power cleans. Continue to increase the weight until you find the 5RM you can squat clean.

Squat Clean 5-5-5-5-5 go here to see how its done.

then

Cool down - See KStars squat vid below - he sits in a squat for ten minutes and works ROM. If you can do 10 minutes straight then cool - otherwise accumulate.
