What is the Isabel workout?

• A. Snatch 135 pounds, 30 reps for time
• B. Clean and Jerk 135 pounds, 15 reps
• C. Row 1,000 meters for time
• D. Deadlift 275 pounds for time

Answer: (A)

Isabel tests a specific CrossFit benchmark that centers on the snatch. The workout is 30 snatches at 135 pounds performed for time, meaning you aim to complete all reps as quickly as possible while maintaining solid technique. The combination of a single, demanding movement, a relatively heavy load, and a fast rep scheme makes it a sprint-style test of barbell cycling, grip endurance, and precision. Because the goal is to finish fast, the emphasis is on moving the bar efficiently with good form rather than grinding out reps slowly. The other options describe different movements or schemes (rowing, deadlifts, or a 15-rep set with a clean and jerk), which are not what Isabel defines.
