Movements in this workout
Scaling
Scaled
95/65 lb, a load you could cycle in steady singles or small touch-and-go sets without form breaking. Cap the effort around 6 minutes.
Beginner
45-35 lb bar or light dumbbells, 20-30 reps, treating every rep as a deliberate ground-to-overhead. Learn the hang power clean and push press pattern first.
The story
Thirty clean and jerks for time, nothing to hide behind. Grace is the classic test of barbell cycling under fatigue, and a rite of passage at 135/95: the load is manageable for one rep, and the workout asks whether it's manageable for thirty. Often programmed alongside Isabel, its snatch twin. First posted to CrossFit.com on 2004-06-24.
