AMRAP 10 mins: 30 Snatches (75/45 lb), 30 Snatches (135/75 lb), 30 Snatches (165/100 lb), then max Snatches (210/120 lb).
Primary movement: Snatch Ladder
Open 12.2 invented the ascending-weight barbell ladder that the Open would reuse for a decade: 30 snatches at each rising weight inside 10 minutes, with plate changes on your own clock. The first bar is a formality, the second a workout, the third a strength test under massive fatigue - and the fourth (210/120) was touched by only a handful of humans in 2012. Your score tells you precisely where snatch strength stops being theoretical.
| Level (Reps) | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| beginner | 40 (into bar 2) | 38 |
| intermediate | 60 (finish bar 2) | 60 |
| advanced | 75 (into bar 3) | 72 |
| elite | 90+ (finish bar 3) | 90+ |
Total reps in 10 minutes.
Where does your Open 12.2 Rx land?
Log it once and the app places you on this table automatically, then tracks the trend.
First bar in 2-3 big touch-and-go sets, but never to failure - it's the toll booth, not the race. Second bar: fast singles immediately; don't test touch-and-go bravado at 135/75 while breathing hard. Pre-stage your plates for 15-second changes. At the third bar, full setup every single and fight for reps - each one is worth places. Power snatches throughout; save the squat for when the weight demands it.
Scaled: 30 reps at 45/35, 30 at 75/55, then max at 95/65. Beginner: 10 minutes of light snatch practice in sets of 5.
