Zach Krych wrist injury

on 2/25/09 I was doing cleans from the hang with 160kg (352lb) and I caught the 3rd rep back on my heels. I tried to dump the bar but I was strapped in, so I couldn't. When I fell back my elbows hit the ground with the bar in my grip and both wrists hyperextended and dislocated. I felt them both "pop" when the ligaments tore. There's no audio, but I yell "Ouch!". I'm going to be in full arm casts for 8 weeks after surgery on 3/5/09, and then rehab. I'm hoping the surgeons can give me some claws like Wolverine.

I'm am glad you've made a come back. I think you got lucky with just a dislocation though. Some guys can't come back from this type of injury.

Did you ever heal from this? Let me know. Im dealing with a TFCC issue that I had to have surgery for from doing power cleans.

I hope you make a full recovery. It is not like you were doing anything particularly risky. Definitely some bad luck. Become an expert on how to bail during a lift.
