Endurance | 5/10 | The 21-15-9 format of moderate squat snatches (42.5/32.5 kg or ~94/72 lb) and push-ups creates a quick, intense metabolic stimulus, testing lifting and pushing capacity under conditioning stress. |
Stamina | 6/10 | Cycling 45 squat snatches and 45 push-ups tests muscular endurance in the full body for snatches (legs, back, shoulders, grip) and pushing muscles (chest, shoulders, triceps for push-ups). |
Strength | 5/10 | Squat snatches at ~94/72 lbs are a moderate load, focusing on technique and endurance. Push-ups test relative pushing strength endurance. |
Flexibility | 6/10 | Requires good full-body mobility for efficient squat snatches (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility). Basic mobility for push-ups. |
Power | 7/10 | The squat snatch is a primary Olympic lift demanding explosive power. Maintaining power and technique for 45 reps is key. |
Speed | 6/10 | Fast cycling of both movements with minimal transition time is critical for achieving a good score in this couplet. |
