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
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:
Go as heavy as possible on the dumbbell clean and jerks. For the deadlifts, pick loads that allow you to attempt a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing heavy deadlifts, 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.

Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy back squats, 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.
