World's Most Powerful Lift

Chris G is currently in the "catch" position of the clean - the world's most powerful lift. Why the "most powerful" label? In no other movement can you take a load from the ground to shoulder in a more safe and efficient manner than the clean. Check out this link showing some of the world's best weightlifters performing the clean. Pause the movement frame by frame to gain an appreciation of the beauty and intricacy of this lift.
Today:
Skill work: Clean progression with light bar
WOD: Max rounds in 10 minutes of:
12 X Ring PU
12 X Bar clean
Use a weight that you can handle for the bar cleans - the goal here is to use proper technique. Choose power and speed generation over the heavy load.
