Endurance | 6/10 | A 10-minute AMRAP featuring an ascending snatch ladder (75lb, 135lb, 165lb, 210lb). This tests strength endurance and power, with increasing metabolic demand as weights get heavier and rest decreases. |
Stamina | 7/10 | Cycling snatches at progressively heavier weights for 10 minutes tests full-body strength-stamina, particularly grip, back, shoulders, and legs. Maintaining technique under fatigue with increasing loads is crucial. |
Strength | 8/10 | The snatch ladder progresses to very heavy weights (165lb for 30 reps, then max reps at 210lb). This is a significant test of snatch strength and strength endurance. |
Flexibility | 7/10 | Requires excellent full-body mobility for efficient snatches at all loads (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility). |
Power | 9/10 | The snatch is a quintessential Olympic lift demanding high levels of explosive power, speed, and coordination. This WOD tests the ability to generate that power repeatedly with increasing loads. |
Speed | 6/10 | Bar speed and speed under the bar are critical for successful snatches. Efficient cycling of reps, especially at lighter loads, is important for progressing to heavier bars. |
