Snatch Complex (Weight)
Every 2:00 x 5 Sets
Snatch + 2 Hang Snatch + Overhead Squat
Starting @ 65% of 1RM Snatch and increasing to a heavy complex for the day. The priority is still the Hang Snatch here, but we are looking to increase to a heavier load than we did in week 1 of this cycle.
The Hang Snatch can be either a Power Snatch or a Squat Snatch. Ideally we catch high and start catching lower and lower on each set
Modifications:
Level 1: 4 Hang Power Snatch + 1 Overhead Squat @ light to moderate loads (each set across)
Movement Limitations: Adjust to Hang Cleans or Dumbbell Snatch
