Power Clean

3 @ 65
3 @ 95
2 @ 135
1 @ 155
1 @ 165
1 @ 175 (PR!)
1 @ 185 (PR!!)
1 @ 165
1 @ 155

Proved that I can indeed get 185 up... although it probably looked a bit like Brian as I chased it down. No more power cleans after my challenge. It's time to learn the real deal... full cleans and full snatches only. Still, I'm really thrilled to get 185 up!!!

Then, I accomplished a sub 4 minute Fran... at the girls weight. Still, it's good to know I'm at least a reasonably fit girl!

Time: about 3:45

DId everything unbroken... too bad 95 lbs is gonna hammer me into the ground (especially after Linda)

i thought linda was with regular cleans, not power cleans. regular cleans are easier, right? i guess the energy expended is the same, but the power required is lower?

I suppose that depends on what you mean by "easier." Anyway, no matter how you define it, power cleans - pull from the ground, catch standing up - are much easier for me. Linda is Rx'd as "cleans" but it's my birthday and I've decided I'm okay with doing the power versions.
