Endurance | 5/10 | A short, very intense effort. While not long in duration, 30 clean-and-jerks at 135/95 lbs performed for time creates a significant metabolic demand and pushes anaerobic threshold quickly. |
Stamina | 7/10 | Cycling 30 reps at this weight requires significant grip and core stamina, as well as stamina in the legs and shoulders to maintain technique and speed under fatigue. |
Strength | 7/10 | The 135/95 lb load is moderate-heavy for many; absolute strength is a significant factor in the ability to cycle reps efficiently and quickly. |
Flexibility | 5/10 | Clean and jerk technique requires good mobility in hips (for the clean catch and dip for jerk), shoulders (for the rack and overhead position), and wrists. |
Power | 9/10 | Grace is a classic test of Olympic lifting power-endurance. Each clean and each jerk is an explosive, full-body effort. The goal is maximal power output sustained over 30 reps. |
Speed | 8/10 | This WOD is a sprint. Cycling reps quickly, minimizing rest between reps (touch-and-go if possible), and maintaining bar speed are all crucial for a fast time. |
