Snatch is an extremely technical exercise that involves lifting the bar off the ground by bringing it over the head in one go. You need to know that learning the right technique is difficult and requires patience.
Scaling:
Isabel is one of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 7 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of each movement and reduce the load drastically. Increasing the load, like in the video, may be appropriate for a few advanced athletes, but most should keep this lighter in order to finish quickly.

Scaling:
This workout should be approached as a sprint. The barbell load is light and the bike distances are relatively short. Reduce the load on the barbell so that the reps can be completed unbroken when fresh. Also, consider reducing the reps of both exercises to keep this workout fast.
