Max Power Snatches

Barbell: (115/85)

Stimulus
  • Overview: Today's piece is a bit of a lung burner! Athletes want to try and hold on to unbroken or 2 sets on the overhead squats and a 2 minute or less pace on each run in order to maximize time at the barbell to accumulate snatch reps.
  • Run: 2 minutes or less.
  • Overhead squats: 90 seconds or less.
  • Snatches: Weight you can move for fast singles or in small sets.
  • Barbell weight should be chosen based on completing the overhead squats in 1-2 sets.
  • The weight will be the same for the snatches as the overhead squats.
  • Athletes should have at least 1 minute for power snatches at the end.
  • Score: Total snatch reps completed.
Strategy
  • When you get back to the barbell for snatches, try to immediately pick up the bar and find a sustainable pace of singles or cycled sets so that you can minimize rest and maximize reps through the end of the clock.
  • Smooth is fast on the sets of overhead squats, maintaining control of the barbell while trying to move quickly is key.
