The Squat Snatch (ground to Overhead Squat in one movement) is the pinnacle of barbell athleticism. At low repetitions it requires and develops 8 of the 10 General Physical Skills of Fitness: strength, power, speed, coordination, flexibility, accuracy, agility, and balance. Throw it in a metabolic conditioning workout with higher reps and you add stamina and cardio-respiratory endurance to the mix. And while it’s not something you’ll be doing from the start at Gateway CrossFit, it is something you’ll be working toward. Does your workout develop all 10 General Skills?
