3 Hang power snatch
3 Muscle snatch
3 Power snatch
2 Sets
3 Position power snatch, empty barbell
Build Up (~4:00)
2 Sets 45# bar + 5 lb plates = 55# 45# bar + 5 + 2.5 = 60# this was too heavy so I took it off and stayed with the 55#
3 Position power snatch
Notes Both warm-up sets are intended to feel relatively light. Take care of any final workout prep during this time.
STRENGTH/POWER
Workout (~17:30)
Every 2:30 for 17:30 (7 sets)
3 Position power snatch
Notes The first 2-3 sets are intended to be performed at light to moderate loads while the remaining sets are intended to be very challenging. Most athletes will likely achieve a max weight prior to the final set. These athletes can reduce the load by 10-20% for the remaining sets. Ensure the integrity of the complex is maintained on each set. It is acceptable to drop the barbell after the second hang power snatch rep.
Movement Modifications *Eliminate the pull from the floor and use an additional hang snatch.
Additionally use dumbbells or a split snatch as needed.
Set 1 55#
Set 2 60#
Set 3 65#
Set 4 65#
Set 5 70#
Set 6 70#
Set 7 75#
This whole workout felt very hard for me today. I felt like I was just having a hard time lifting any amount of weight. I was getting really frustrated but Alicia and Jeff Fischer kept helping me and giving me tips of how to do it. I so appreciate all the help at this gym! I think vacation was too much – after being gone it is really hard – I’m tired, I feel like I can’t lift any weight. Ugghhh…I guess I shouldn’t go on vacation again….
