Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): The power snatch is an explosive Olympic lift. This WOD is a classic test of power-endurance, demanding high turnover and sustained power output for all 75 reps.
- Speed (8/10): This WOD is all about speed and barbell cycling efficiency. Fast, unbroken sets (or very quick singles) with minimal rest are critical for a top time.
- Stamina (7/10): Cycling 75 light power snatches tests grip, back, shoulder, and leg muscular endurance. Maintaining form and speed for all 75 reps without significant breaks is the challenge.
- Endurance (5/10): For time: 75 power snatches (75/55 lb). This is the benchmark WOD 'Randy', a sprint that heavily taxes cardiovascular endurance and the ability to maintain technique under high metabolic stress in a short duration.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires good mobility for power snatches (overhead position, hip hinge) to be performed efficiently for 75 reps.
- Strength (3/10): Power snatches at 75/55 lbs are a light load, focusing on speed, technique, and cycling efficiency rather than maximal strength.
