Snatch is an extremely technical exercise that involves lifting the bar off the ground by bringing it over the head in one go. You need to know that learning the right technique is difficult and requires patience.
Scaling:
Experienced lifters should try for a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing heavy power snatches, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.
Beginner Option:
Hang power snatch 3-3-3-2-2-1-1-1 reps

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the snatches to a weight that is challenging but allows you to complete at least 10 reps unbroken when fresh. Beginners should also scale the volume.

Scaling:
Experienced athletes should work up to a moderately heavy single before starting the working sets and increase the weight for each set. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable, potentially adding reps for more practice.

Hang squat snatch 3-3-3-3-3-3 reps
