CrossFit WOD: Power cleaning ladder

Today's WOD was interesting because I never did a workout like it before. Basically, the workout was a ladder-style workout of power cleans. The WOD called for power cleans at 70% of your 1 rep max. It goes as follows:
1 power clean the first minute, 2 power cleans the second minute, 3 power cleans the third minute, etc...

With a continuously running clock, you will perform these power cleans for as many rounds as you can until you can’t finish the number of reps for that minute.

I kept going until I got to 11 rounds with 155 lbs. I have no idea what my 1 rep max is on power cleans so this was my guess. My hands gave out and I had no wrist strength left. Very challenging workout.

Best,
Tyler
