There are few other things in the training world that contribute to and develop overall athleticism as much as the full Clean and Jerk.  I remember watching the Olympics and hearing the announcers say you need the brute strength of a Power Lifter, the flexibility of a Gymnast, and the explosiveness of a Track athlete, in order to become a great Olympic Lifter.  I could not agree more.  Also, this process takes time.  Like days, months, and years of practice and heartache.  So go for your PR today but also keep in mind today is one day in your hopefully decades long journey of CrossFit.
