Olympic Weightlifting Total WOD - Scaling & Strategy | CrossFit Benchmark | PRZilla

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Strength (10/10): The ultimate test of maximal strength in the two classic Olympic lifts. The score is the sum of the heaviest successful Snatch and Clean-and-Jerk.

Power (10/10): The Snatch and Clean-and-Jerk are peak expressions of explosive power, speed, coordination, and strength. This WOD directly measures that capacity.

Flexibility (8/10): Requires elite-level full-body mobility for both the Snatch (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility) and the Clean-and-Jerk (front rack, full squat for clean, overhead for jerk) to lift maximal loads safely and efficiently.

Speed (7/10): Bar speed, speed under the bar, and speed of movement during the lifts are absolutely critical for successfully completing maximal attempts in both the Snatch and Clean-and-Jerk.

Endurance (1/10): Minimal cardiovascular demand. This is a pure strength test with ample rest between maximal attempts.

Stamina (1/10): Not a test of muscular endurance; focused on single, maximal efforts for the Snatch and Clean-and-Jerk.
