Snatch Primer
5 Sets, resting ~30-45s between:
3 Muscle Snatches
2 Snatch Grip Push Jerks
1 Pausing Overhead Squat (3s)

Sets #1+2+3 – 35% of 1RM Snatch
Set #4 – 40%
Set #5 – 45%

Barbell Cycling – Snatch
On the 2:30 x 5 Sets:
3-Position Power Snatch
3-Position Squat Snatch

Barbell load – 55% of 1RM Snatch

This complex involves a total of (6) repetitions. As it flows in full:
1 High Hang Power Snatch (pocket-level)
1 Hang Power Snatch (knee-level)
1 Power Snatch (from the floor)
1 High Hang Squat Snatch (pocket-level)
1 Hang Squat Snatch (knee-level)
1 Squat Snatch (from the floor)

This is the first iteration of this complex, and we will be repeating so, upping our percentage from today’s 55%. It is designed to be on the lighter side, so that we can work on our cycling positions and speed on the bar. Let’s move well today so that we have a base to build off of. We are looking to hold onto the bar for the duration (building our stamina in our grip, no less our full movement), but if we must drop, after each section fits (after the three power reps).
