Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes
1 power snatch + 2 overhead squats
Spend ten minutes working on one power snatch plus two overhead squats. After catching the power snatch overhead spend a second to steady yourself before heading down into your two overhead squats. With the weight locked out overhead the first thing to think about is sending your hips back to sit down into your squat while keeping your chest upright. The overhead squat is difficult so if it’s not a smart movement for you to work on feel free to switch things up and complete two power snatches every minute instead.

power snatch
lateral burpees
Lighten up your barbell after the skill work for this workout. The power snatch reps will add up fast so plan to choose a weight that you are very comfortable with and that you can maintain sets of throughout the entire workout. We’ll be jumping laterally over the bar for the burpees so to make these a bit easier skip the jump and scale to burpees in place or even just switch to a step over instead of a jump.
