| Endurance | 5/10 | For time (13-min cap): 30 snatches (135lb), then 30 snatches (185lb), then max rep snatches (225lb). (Assuming male weights, female would be lighter). This is a heavy snatch ladder testing strength, power, and technique under fatigue, culminating in max reps at a very heavy weight. |
| Stamina | 7/10 | Cycling 30 reps at 135lb, then 30 at 185lb, before attempting max reps at 225lb, will severely tax full-body lifting stamina (legs, back, shoulders, grip) for the snatch. |
| Strength | 9/10 | The snatch ladder progresses to very heavy weights (up to 225/145 lbs for max reps). This is a significant test of maximal snatch strength and the ability to hit heavy lifts repeatedly when fatigued. |
| Flexibility | 8/10 | Requires excellent full-body mobility for efficient snatches at all loads, especially as weight increases (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility). |
| Power | 10/10 | The snatch is a quintessential Olympic lift demanding peak power. This WOD tests the ability to generate that power repeatedly with increasing loads and then for max reps at a very heavy weight. |
| Speed | 5/10 | Efficient cycling for the first two bars is important to conserve energy and time. For the final bar, technique and power are more critical than raw cycling speed. Minimizing misses is key. |
