Skill
EMOM for 10 minutes
1 squat snatch with pause below the knees
Spend ten minutes practicing the squat snatch with a pause below the knees. You’ll be taking the bar from the floor every rep. Make sure to take the bar from the floor under control before taking a quick pause below your knees. Keep your back flat and shoulders back during the pause and make sure to always keep your gaze straight ahead. After the pause continue the lift at normal speed. Explosive hips and a fast drop under the bar will be really important here. If you’re not able to overhead squat safely you can still practice the pause with a power snatch.
