What it costs
- Relative load
- 34.5
- Grip index
- 49
- Drive patterns
- 2
Relative load is a weighted rep sum for comparing complexes with each other. It is not a difficulty rating.
- 2 ballistics land here. Swing, clean, snatch and high pull are one hip drive at different heights, so the posterior-chain cost stacks even though the movements read as varied.
- Bell weight is capped by the weakest link — the whole complex runs at the load of the hardest single movement in it.
- Contains a high-skill movement. Technique degrades before strength does — stop the set when the shape goes, not when the reps run out.
