The Power clean to a push press takes a big chunk out of the 10 general physical skills:
1. Cardiovascular/respiratory endurance - The ability of body systems to gather, process, and deliver oxygen.
2. Stamina - The ability of body systems to process, deliver, store, and utilize energy.
3. Strength - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply force.
4. Flexibility - the ability to maximize the range of motion at a given joint.
5. Power - The ability of a muscular unit, or combination of muscular units, to apply maximum force in minimum time.
6. Speed - The ability to minimize the time cycle of a repeated movement.
7. Coordination - The ability to combine several distinct movement patterns into a singular distinct movement.
8. Agility - The ability to minimize transition time from one movement pattern to another.
9. Balance - The ability to control the placement of the bodies center of gravity in relation to its support base.
10. Accuracy - The ability to control movement in a given direction or at a given intensity.

I would have liked this one!
So much for straight arms, huh Jerry?
forgot to put my time down for the circuit. 15:44 I think...
Craig,
I have some video that I need to edit to help dissect your clean.
(2nd photo) At the height of the pull your arms should be bent by that stage - hey the bar is close to your body, you are using your hips - you hit 145 x 15! - strength, conditioning, efficiency of movement...skies the limit brother!
Aaron,
Great work on the clean - thx for posting your time.
Jen, as you know high-rep max effort cl&J are brutal!
