Workout notes

Today’s workout will start with some lifting and skill work. You’ll have 10 minutes to work up to a heavy Snatch for the day. If you are new to lifting this can definitely be approached as skill work rather than strength work. During the 10 minute EMOM we will be focusing on the Squat Snatch. Catching the bar in an overhead squat position is difficult so work with your coach to make sure you find a difficulty level or squat depth that is manageable for you. After your 10 lifts there will be 2 minutes to lighten your bar and transition into the workout of 75 power snatches for time. You will want to keep your barbell light for this workout. If at any point you are doing singles or sets of less than 5 you have gone too heavy. Go fast and hang on to that bar! Don’t forget to put your score in SugarWOD and give out a fist bump or two while you’re at it!
