Benchmark Times for The Bronze Standard

  • Elite: <10:30
  • Advanced: 12:01-13:31
  • Intermediate: 15:01-16:31
  • Beginner: >21:00

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Flexibility (8/10): All three movements (Power Snatch, Snatch Balance, Overhead Squat) demand excellent full-body mobility, particularly in the shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, and ankles, to maintain good positions for 147 reps.
  • Stamina (7/10): Performing 147 total reps involving snatch variations and OHS with a 95lb bar will significantly tax shoulder, back, leg, and core stabilizing muscular endurance. Maintaining technique for so many reps is key.
  • Endurance (6/10): Seven rounds for time of a snatch complex: 7 power snatches, 7 snatch balances, 7 overhead squats (all at 95/65 lb). While the weight is light, the technical nature and 21 reps per round for 7 rounds (147 total reps) will be metabolically demanding and test skill endurance.
  • Speed (6/10): Efficiently cycling through each component of the snatch complex with minimal wasted motion and consistent technique is crucial for a good time. Transition speed between movements within the complex is also important.
  • Power (5/10): Power snatches are explosive. Snatch balances require speed under the bar. OHS can be dynamic. The light load allows for speed, but the focus is more on technical endurance.
  • Strength (4/10): The barbell load (95/65 lb) is light, focusing on perfect form, movement efficiency, and endurance of snatch-specific patterns rather than maximal strength.
