Was going to be 7 rounds, but I felt that I was close to my triple-max, so I did another. Used hook-grip for ~the first time in a lift (this whole WOD). Helped a lot, I think. Last round did third with normal grip & failed it, went to hook quickly and got it up. Heh. Should have listened to you earlier, Coach B. :) Mike Burgener's Gym
I believe that the cleans and snatches that I do to save the knees are muscle-version rather than power cleans. From doing a little reading, I seem to find that they are similar but the muscle-clean is caught in rack position (on front shoulders) without a re-bend of the knees upon receiving the bar. In other words, a hip drive & shrug up and then catching it standing straight up. It's much less powerful than a normal clean or a squat-clean, but I can only do what I have the equipment to do.
Having said that, this is my clean PR (Personal Record), apparently. At least I didn't have any recorded from the past. :P
Picture is Camille LeBlanc-Bazinet doing what she does best. Looking beautiful and kicking ass. Here's her 2012 games-page; she is doing quite well...as always.
