Post choice of workout and time to comments.

Scaling:
If choosing Test 1, modify the movements and reduce the dumbbell load to something you can perform quickly and unbroken. This workout is a sprint, and should be scaled to allow for a quick, all-out effort.

If choosing Test 2, be careful of the high volume of each exercise, especially with the GHD. Athletes without exposure to the GHD should drastically reduce the volume. Overall this workout is fairly long, so choose modifications that are still challenging, and plan on having to break each exercise multiple sets.

3 rounds of:
10 kipping handstand push-ups
10 dumbbell hang power cleans

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:
Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed.

Beginner option:
From 0:00-10:00:
Practice the following complex with an empty bar or a light weight:
1 hang snatch pull
1 hang power snatch

From 10:00-20:00:
Work up to a heavy set of:
3 hang power snatches

Scaling:
The metabolic-conditioning portion of the workout is a sprint. Reduce the weight on the thrusters to perform at least 7-10 reps every time you pick up the barbell. If you can go unbroken through the entire set, do so. If you’re new to weightlifting, watch “The Power Clean” and “The Hang Squat Clean,” and start with an empty barbell on the complex. Only add weight if you’re able to maintain proper mechanics.
