Banded Good Mornings

Banded Overhead Squats

Technical Work

2-3 Rounds of 3-5 reps

Slow Snatch High Pulls (VIDEO)

Pause Power Snatch

MANAGEMENT:

  • Take them through on command for at least the first round

  • 4-count for the slow snatch high pulls, count slow and force them to move slow and focus on their positions

  • Pause for the Power Snatch is in the catch, getting comfortable in the receiving position is key to lifting heavy. Too many times athletes come out of their catch too early and dump the weight forward. Solid 3-second pause in the catch

Strength

Power Snatch 6x3 (single repetitions) @70-80%

Snatch Grip Bent Over Rows 5x6

FOCUS:

  • Cycling heavy singles with good technique

  • Pulling for back strength and to even out the overhead/pull ratio for shoulder health

OPEN TIME OPTION

  • 15 minutes

CONTROLLED TIME OPTION

  • Every 1:30 for 9 minutes for the Snatch work, rest until the 10:00 mark, then EMOM 5 for the Rows

SCORE: Time

PACE GOAL: 8:00-10:00

FEEL:

  • Sprint of Strength

  • Heart rate will not be the limiting factor for this one, strength endurance will be challenged especially in rounds 4 and 5

STRATEGY:

  • To clarify, a cluster is a squat clean into a thruster…steady singles on these

  • Focus on getting your foot clamp at or above your shoulder height for better efficiency

ROPE CLIMB MODIFICATIONS:

  • If you do not have enough ropes or choose not to do Rope Climbs, two good modifications would be 8 KB Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (53/35 Rx) or 20 Plate Russian Twists (35/25 Rx)
