15 clean and jerks at a single load.

Performance: There is no time limit, but the barbell can't rest on the ground. Resting at the hang, rack, or overhead is OK. At the ground, the athlete must touch and go. Technique is otherwise not critical.

Scoring: The score is the load lifted, in pounds.

Modifications: None needed.

Character: A classic test of overall strength that becomes an extraordinary metabolic challenge at 15 reps, as max heart and respiratory rates show.

Practice workout: Complete the test, then repeat at 12 and 9 reps with the same load, resting between efforts as needed.

Points: 115–135 / 135–159 / 160–189 / 190–224 / 225+ lb earn 4 / 8 / 12 / 16 / 20 points.
