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 athletes should choose a load on the barbell that is a moderately heavy weight, yet allows them to touch-and-go or perform fast singles on the snatch and clean and jerk. Similarly, the pull-up variant should be fast and unbroken for the early rounds. Newer athletes should use a dowel or empty barbell and focus on mechanics for the lifting portion, and modify the gymnastics movements. Aim for at least 3 rounds in 12 minutes.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 min. of:
3 snatches
6 clean and jerks
9 pull-ups
36 double-unders

Hope has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. Each round takes five minutes, and a one-minute break is allowed between rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On the call of "rotate," the athlete(s) must move to the next station immediately for a good score. One point is given for each rep.

Scaling:
Though identical in structure, each exercise in Hope is considerably more difficult than those in Fight Gone Bad. Try to maintain intensity throughout the 3 rounds by allowing for smaller sets and short breaks during the more challenging movements. Intermediate athletes may choose to attempt this Rx’d, while newer athletes should reduce the difficulty of each exercise.
Beginner Option:
Burpees
Power snatches
Box step-ups
Squats
Ring rows
Scaling:
Most athletes will be able to do this workout as prescribed. This progression of snatch variations should prepare you well for the attempts at a 1-rep-max squat snatch. Experienced lifters should try to go heavy, while newer athletes should focus on mechanics and worry less about adding weight.
Scaling:
Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 8 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of the snatch and reduce the load and reps.
Intermediate Option:
Experienced athletes should attempt this workout as written, with an 8-minute timecap.
¾ bodyweight hang power snatches
Handstand push-ups
Rest as needed between rounds.
Scaling:
For each movement, pick modifications that allow you to complete at least 10 reps. Reduce the weight on the snatches so that it is still heavy for you but light enough that you can cycle the reps. Newer athletes should treat today as an opportunity to practice two difficult movements.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for max reps of:
2/3 bodyweight hang power snatches
Handstand push-ups
Rest as needed between rounds.
Beginner Option:
5 rounds, not for time of:
10 hang power snatches
10 push-ups
100 hang power snatches
100 push presses
100 sumo deadlift high pulls
100 front squats

Scaling:
Choose a weight that is appropriately light and plan to break each exercise into multiple sets. Like with her cousin Angie, the goal for Andi is to finish all 400 reps as quickly as possible, so take short breaks that allow continuous movement.
Intermediate Option:
100 hang power snatches
100 push presses
100 sumo deadlift high pulls
100 front squats
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 45 lb.
Beginner Option:
50 hang power snatches
50 push presses
50 sumo deadlift high pulls
50 front squats
