How do your CrossFit Girl Workouts Scores Measure up against other Crossfitters? (plus RX, Scaled and Beginner Tips)

ISABEL

  • For Time
  • 30 Snatches (135/95 lb)

With a running clock, perform 30 Snatches as fast as possible. Any type of snatch is acceptable (power snatch, full/squat snatch, split snatch).

Score is the time it takes to complete all 30 reps.

Good Times for “Isabel” (source)
– Beginner: 6-7 minutes
– Intermediate: 4-6 minutes
– Advanced: 3-4 minutes
– Elite: <2 minutes

Scaling
“Isabel” is one of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 5 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of each movement and reduce the load drastically.

Intermediate
For Time
30 Snatches (115/75 lb)

Beginner
For Time
30 Snatches (75/55 lb)

Tips for the Isabel WOD

  • Work on the snatch technique at a light weight to perfect the movement.
  • Avoid reaching failure. Divide up the reps as required.
  • If the weight is too heavy scale down. Work on speed and technique, then increase weight in the future.
