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:

1 hang snatch pull
1 hang power snatch

From 10:00-20:00:

Guest Programmer – Rob Lawson
April 30-May 12, 2024

Every minute on the minute for 20 minutes:

Minutes 1-5, use a light weight to complete:
1 snatch pull
1 hang power snatch
1 overhead squat

Minutes 6-10, use a light weight to complete:
1 snatch pull
1 low-hang snatch

Minutes 11-20, increase the load if movement is sound and complete:
1 snatch pull
1 squat snatch

Post takeaways and loads to comments.

Scaling:
The goal today is to build confidence in the snatch.

Every minute starts with a snatch pull to practice:
- A solid setup position.
- Hips and shoulders rising at the same time.
- Reaching full hip and knee extension before shrugging.

In minutes 1-5, concentrate on full hip extension. We are receiving the barbell high in the power snatch position (as opposed to the squat snatch), and then practicing a deeper receiving position with the overhead squat. The goal is for the skills of this complex to transfer over to the later minutes in this workout.

In minutes 6-10, start from the low hang and try to receive the bar in a squat. We may add a little weight, but stick to the same weight for the full 5 minutes; the opportunity to increase weight will come in the next 10 minutes. Focus on being patient, keeping the chest/shoulders on top of the bar, and jumping before using the arms to pull under.

In minutes 11-20, snatch from the floor. Focus on a sound setup position, and hips and shoulders rising at the same time before accelerating and extending the hips when the bar reaches mid-thigh — patience will be necessary to stay over the bar to reach this position. All the coaching points and practice from the previous work comes together to finish with a full squat snatch.

If you’re moving well, add weight through the last 10 minutes, but the goal is to have no missed lifts. Do not sacrifice form for load.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d
