I don’t normally do the most difficult level but cleans are my absolute favorite so I couldn’t pass it up. I started to regret it by the 3rd round — grunting, groaning, almost crying, even saying “I don’t want to do this anymore.” With all my coaches’ shouting and not allowing me to stop, I finished at 13 minutes with a total of 55 clean and jerks, 55 box jumps, and 60 knees to chests.
