Which movement is associated with the WOD Isabel?

• A. Snatch
• B. Clean and Jerk
• C. Deadlift
• D. Back Squat

Answer: (A)

Isabel centers on the snatch, the Olympic lift that moves the bar from the floor directly to overhead in one continuous motion. In this workout you perform a sequence of snatches (30 reps) at a prescribed weight, testing speed, technique, and bar path as you cycle the lift to completion. This is different from the clean and jerk, which involves two movements (clean to the shoulders, then jerk overhead); the deadlift, which lifts the bar from the floor to the hips without going overhead; and the back squat, which is a squat with the bar on the back. The snatch’s single continuous motion is what defines Isabel.
