Meet Guest Programmer – Michele Letendre: Dec. 4-17, 2023.

On a running clock:
0:00-10:00:
1 snatch high pull
1 hang power snatch

10:00-20:00:
Complete the following complex for max load:
1 power snatch
2 hang squat snatches

For Part 1: Start at 30% of your max snatch and work up to 50%.
For Part 2: Make as many attempts as desired within the 10-minute window.

Post load to comments.

Goal: Technical practice and application. Percentages are based on your best power snatch.

Focus on continuous leg drive and elevating the bar. If the second pull is not executed efficiently, you won’t be able to lift as much load.

When time starts, athletes begin with 30% of their best snatch, or what they consider to be a light weight, and work up in load using the complex of 1 snatch high pull + 1 hang power snatch until they hit about 50%.

At the 10-minute mark:
Athletes move on to their working window and hit the complex of 1 power snatch + 2 hang squat snatches as heavy as possible.

Athletes cannot drop the bar between their power snatch and hang squat snatch.

Scaling:

Intermediate option:

Beginner option:

50 alternating dumbbell snatches
50 alternating dumbbell lunges
Max calories on the rower

♀ 50-lb dumbbell

Post calories to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a mental and physical test. On paper, this workout creates an ominous thought of too much time on the rower — and that's exactly what’s intended. Adjust the load of the dumbbell so you can perform at least 10 unbroken snatches. Consider holding the dumbbell in the farmers-carry position, the front rack, or on the shoulder. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but the goal is to perform 50 lunges unbroken. Don’t look at the clock — just jump on the rower, push the pace, and get to work. Have fun!
