Average Scores by Level

Isabel is Grace's snatch equivalent — 30 reps for time at 135/95 lb. The snatch is technically the more demanding movement, making Isabel harder than Grace for most athletes despite identical reps and weight.

Level	Time / Score	Notes
Beginner	10+ min	Scale to 65/45 lb
Intermediate	4–10 min	Rx, singles or small sets
Advanced	2–4 min	Touch-and-go reps
Elite	Sub 2 min	Near unbroken

Scaling Options

Scale to a weight where you can perform power snatches safely and with good technique. For newer athletes, 65/45 lb allows focus on cycling rhythm. Technique failures are expensive — slow down before the bar becomes dangerous.

Strategy Tips

At the elite level this is done touch-and-go. For most athletes, quick singles with minimal rest between reps is the strategy. Focus on a smooth turnover and consistent footwork rather than trying to cycle a weight that's too heavy for you.
