The Olympic lifts and their variations are well known for increasing power, strength, and speed. This classic movement is traditionally an excellent test of overall strength. Performed at higher reps, it becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge, as evidenced by max heart and respiratory rates. Every major muscle and joint in the body must work in a coordinated effort to make the lift successful.

Grace 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.
