Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (10/10): The snatch is a quintessential Olympic lift demanding peak power. This WOD tests the ability to generate that power repeatedly with a very heavy load at speed.
- Strength (9/10): Snatches at 175/125 lbs are exceptionally heavy for 30 reps in a sprint. This is a major test of snatch strength and strength endurance.
- Flexibility (8/10): Requires elite-level full-body mobility for efficient snatches at this heavy load (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility).
- Speed (8/10): This is an all-out sprint. Fast cycling of very heavy snatches (touch-and-go for elite, or very quick singles) with minimal rest is critical for finishing within the cap or getting a top time. Technical proficiency at speed is paramount.
- Stamina (6/10): Cycling 30 very heavy snatches will severely tax full-body lifting stamina (legs, back, shoulders, grip) under maximal intensity.
- Endurance (4/10): For time (6-min cap): 30 snatches (175/125lb). This is a barbell cycling sprint requiring 30 very heavy snatches for time. Tests strength, speed, and technique under fatigue against an extremely tight time cap.
Modality Profile
