They seem to be thinking the clean is just to bring it up to your midsection by any means necessary, then change the grip and do a jerk that looks more like an overhead press.

so after a little research it appears they are attempting to do a strongman lift call the continental with a large diameter bar

apparently that is what is supposed to roughly look like...

although I have no idea why 90 lb women would be doing strongman lifts

And why is there a 3 legged dog walking around the gym?

Just watched a video. Looks like a dangerous lift when you up the weight. The purpose of the mixed grip is because it's a axel and a normal grip will allow the bar to fall out.

Strongman.org

This explains what they're doing. I've never done a Continental clean but it looks like that's what they're trying to do.

The problem is that people see one dumbass video like that and group CrossFit into that whole stereotype.

There are plenty of videos of people doing retarded stuff like this in gyms like Anytime Fitness, but I don't automatically assume that everyone at Anytime Fitness works out like this...
