Endurance | 3/10 | Three separate, very short time-capped efforts (1, 2, and 3 minutes) to complete one snatch at each of three progressively heavier barbells. Minimal cardiovascular demand, focused on maximal power and speed for single heavy lifts. |
Stamina | 2/10 | Not a stamina test in the traditional sense. Requires the ability to make multiple attempts at heavy snatches within short windows if needed, but not sustained muscular endurance. |
Strength | 10/10 | This is a direct test of maximal snatch strength, with weights progressing to elite levels (e.g., Men up to 285lb, Women up to 185lb). Success depends on hitting near 1RM lifts under time pressure. |
Flexibility | 8/10 | Requires elite-level full-body mobility for efficient snatches at maximal loads (overhead squat position, shoulder stability, hip/ankle mobility). |
Power | 10/10 | The snatch is arguably the ultimate display of explosive power, speed, and coordination. This WOD tests the ability to generate that power successfully for single heavy reps. |
Speed | 8/10 | Bar speed, speed under the bar, and speed of movement during the lift are absolutely critical for successfully completing maximal snatches. The time caps also demand quick attempts if needed. |
