Strength

Snatch (week 5 / 6)

E90SEC x 8 Sets:

Sets 1: 4 HPSN@ 50-60%
Set 2: 3 HPSN @ 60-70%
Set 3: 2 HPSN @ 70-80%
Set 4: 1 HPSN @ 80-90%
Sets 5-6: 5 OHS @ 85%
Sets 7-8: 3 Snatch Pulls @ 90-100%

*We are going to build each set today for the HPSN. The goal today for the Overhead squats is to go 85% of your heaviest snatch achieved today.
Go heavy today on the snatch pulls. (90-100% of 1 RM). If you are new
to the Snatch, keep it light, empty bar if required.

For the Snatch pull, focus on hitting full extension, driving your feet through the floor.
This is not a high pull and you should not pull the bar with your arms. The goal
is to drive with your legs and finish with a shrug.
