@porcelainsoul My point is that it is arguably needless increase in risk. Like telling marathon runners they aren't allowed water until they finish.
if this event never existed, no one will ever reach the point where they can do 60 clean and jerks at 135 with perfect form under 5 minutes.
now it exists. now its a goal.
this elevates the highest level, and you want to see the highest level.
im sure in the future years from now on theres gonna be a grace with 100 reps.
Now imagine your clean and jerk is 355+. Double grace probably had the least chance of injury than any of the workouts so far.
but if you're worried about injury, than you're fucked up to begin with.
That is absolutely idiotic.
Imagine if your max strict press is 170 pounds, and you get injured pushing 68 pounds. It's practically impossible.
If an injury did occur while lifting 40 percent, than it would be pretty much a freak incident.
Though you could be from the camp that thinks that olympic lifts with an empty bar need to be just as complicated than the oly lifts at max weight.
