Omigod you guys! I totally realized as I was doing Power Cleans last night that they are just like the Bend and Snap! The position of the feet is slightly different, but the actual Bend and Snap part is almost identical! This finally proved the point that I have heard over and over again that CrossFit is all about "functional movement"...Omigod it totally is!!! If I keep doing these Power Clean things I'm going to have the best Bend and Snap around!!!
I bend and snap!
Now look how hot it's gettin'
Bend and snap!
I bet right now you're sweatin'
Not only did the Power Clean/Bend and Snap epiphany come to me last night as I struggled to catch my breath, but would you even believe that I actually enjoyed myself at a CrossFit Class? Don't get me wrong the WOD made me sufficiently angry (as any good WOD should do), but it was also fun and challenging in a way that I hadn't allowed myself to enjoy before. Maybe I was just so excited to be able to practice my Bend and Snap...maybe I was just delirious...maybe I've finally made that "conceptual leap" thanks to my Master Mind Fight Club friends and all of their brilliant advice and shared experiences??? Whatever it is I'll take it!!!
Snaps for Power Cleans, Snaps for the Bend and Snap, Snaps for lack of oxygen to the brain, Snaps for the Master Mind Fight Club!!!
