Leaderboard nerds, it’s time to look at the data from the 2015 CrossFit Liftoff, powered by Rogue.

CrossFit’s first online weightlifting competition gave athletes four days to establish their 1-rep-max snatch, 1-rep-max clean and jerk, and score on the 12-minute AMRAP of 3 snatches (135 / 105 lb.), 6 clean and jerks (135 / 105 lb.), 9 chest-to-bar pull-ups and 54 double-unders.

Beyond the Whiteboard gave fans an early look at what was possible based on their users' data. Here we follow up with the data from the competition itself.

Let us know what you’ve observed, or what you’d like to know more about, in the comments below.

Snatch

• 99th Percentile: Men - 312 lb., Women - 200 lb.
• 95th Percentile: Men - 270 lb., Women - 169 lb.
• 90th Percentile: Men - 250 lb., Women - 150 lb.
• 75th Percentile: Men - 220 lb., Women - 130 lb.
• 50th Percentile: Men - 189 lb., Women - 110 lb.

2,500 men and 1,168 women submitted poundage for the snatch.

The heaviest weights went to the heavyweight Olympic weightlifters. Caine Wilkes—who weighs 321 lb.—of Team USA topped the charts with a 390-lb. snatch, while his teammate, Olympian Sarah Robles, snatched the most of any female athlete with a 258-lb. lift at a body weight of 327 lb. 

Another 44 men joined Wilkes in the 300-lb. + club, while 14 women snatched 200 lb.+. Of those athletes, the strongest pound-for-pound were 218-lb. Colin Burns (379-lb. snatch, 1.74 x body weight) and 132-lb. Lacey Van Der Marel (205-lb. snatch, 1.55 x body weight).

Men, on average, were able to snatch 5 lb. more than their own body weight (187-lb. BW, 192-lb. snatch, 1.03 x BW), while women, on average, snatched 36 lb. less than their body weight (150-lb. BW, 114-lb. snatch, 0.76 x BW).

In the tables below, you can see how many athletes snatched less than (0.75), equal to (1.0), or more than (1.25, 1.5) their body weight. There’s overlap between the rows since 0.75+, for example, includes any athlete who lifted at least three quarters of their body weight. Anyone who snatched one and a half times their body weight makes it into the 1.25, 1.0, and 0.75 counts as well.

Clean and Jerk

• 99th Percentile: Men - 383 lb., Women - 245 lb.
• 95th Percentile: Men - 330 lb., Women - 211 lb.
• 90th Percentile: Men - 310 lb., Women - 190 lb.
• 75th Percentile: Men - 275 lb., Women - 170  lb.
• 50th Percentile: Men - 242 lb., Women -  145 lb.

2,459 men and 1,156 women submitted poundage for the clean and jerk.

Wilkes and Robles once again bested all comers, setting the standard with 480-lb. and 328-lb. clean and jerks, respectively.

Another 15 men clean and jerked 400 lb.+. No other woman exceeded 300 lb., however, 10 women clean and jerked 250 lb. or more. Remarkably, 90 women, including 17-year-old 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games teenage competitor Nairobi Romero, clean and jerked 200 lb.+. Kids these days.

Of the men who clean and jerked 400 lb.+, 193-lb. Cernei Gheorghii was the strongest pound-for-pound. He managed to get 425 lb. off the ground and over his head, which is an over double body-weight lift (2.20 x BW). Out of the women in the 250-lb.+ category, 157-lb. Hatice Yilmaz turns heads with a 1.66 x body weight lift of 260 lb.

Men, on average, were able to clean and jerk 58 lb. more than their own body weight (186-lb. BW, 244-lb. clean and jerk, 1.31 x BW), while women, on average, clean and jerked 2 lb. less than their body weight (150 lb. BW, 148 lb. clean and jerk, 0.986 x BW).

The two women to clean and jerk double body weight were Yana Dyachenko of the Ukrainian weightlifting team and Evagjelia Veli. The 112-lb. athletes lifted 232 and 225 lb., respectively.

Workout

• 99th Percentile: Men - 432 reps = 6 rounds + 0 reps
                            Women - 433 reps = 6 rounds + 1 reps
   
• 95th Percentile: Men - 369 reps = 5 rounds + 9 reps
                             Women - 362 reps = 5 rounds + 2 reps
   
• 90th Percentile: Men - 360 reps = 5 rounds + 0 reps
                            Women - 297 reps = 4 rounds + 9 reps
   
• 75th Percentile: Men - 296 reps = 4 rounds + 8 reps
                            Women - 234 reps = 3 rounds + 18 reps
   
• 50th Percentile: Men - 243 reps = 3 rounds + 45 reps
                            Women -  216 reps = 3 rounds + 0 reps

1,939 men and 571 women completed the 12-minute AMRAP as Rx’d, which amounts to 85 percent of the men and 54 percent of the women.

Of those athletes, the average man completed 3 rounds and 31 reps (247 reps total) while the average woman completed 2 rounds and 51 reps (195 reps total) within the time cap.

Seven men and seven women presumably PR'ed their snatch at 135 / 105 lb., logging one rep for the workout. 

Four athletes—Rich Froning, Nuno Costa, Lauren Fisher and Samantha Briggs—entered into the eighth round (505 reps+). This elite group includes two Games champions and two members of the perennial Games team, Invictus.

Overall Total

As many expected, the top lifts went to Olympic weightlifting specialists and the top workout scores went to CrossFit Games competitors.

Chest-to-bar pull-ups were not in the cards for the top two female weightlifters, Sarah Robles and Holley Mangold, just as 300+ clean and jerks were out of the range of the female Games athletes (Brooke Ence came closest with a 250-lb. lift).

Even a killer snatch and clean and jerk could not make up for a very low score on the AMRAP, and consequently the CrossFit athletes faired better in the overall total which combined snatch weight, clean and jerk weight, and workout reps. 

The top table shows the scores of the top three men and women in the weightlifting total rankings, while the bottom table shows the scores of the top three men and women in the workout rankings.
