Scaling:
This progression of snatch variations should prepare you for a solid attempt 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.

The Power Snatch

1

The power snatch is received in a partial overhead squat. Without the option of catching in a full squat, the athlete must pull the bar high and focus on a quick change of direction. Complete hip and knee extension followed by a fast turnover of the bar is critical.

WatchThe Power Snatch

The Snatch Balance

8

"The snatch balance begins in a narrower stance, with feet directly under the hips—the pulling stance that is the starting position for the clean and the snatch (what Coach Burgener often calls the “jumping stance”). The snatch balance requires the athlete to initiate the movement with a strong dip and drive, then dive under the bar and move the feet to land in the slightly wider catching stance with the bar overhead—all explosively and in an instant." (CrossFit Journal, 2005).

Watch The Snatch Balance

The Snatch

13

The Olympic lifts train athletes to effectively activate more muscle fibers more rapidly than through any other modality of training. The explosiveness that results from this training is of vital necessity to every sport. Practicing the snatch teaches one to apply force to muscle groups in proper sequence — i.e., from the center of the body to its extremities (core to extremity). Learning this vital technical lesson benefits all athletes who need to impart force to another person or object, as is commonly required in nearly all sports.

Such a frustrating ending to a pretty good day. Felt so good until I went for a 10lb PR. Had it overhead four times and couldn’t balance to stand it up. But felt more solid in receiving overhead than I have in a long time. I’ve been doing a gymnastics program that has really improved my shoulder strength and stability.

Practice day, didn't count reps, just focused on technique

Empty barbell Snatch Balance

75-85-95# PS

75-85-95# SS


Did a bunch of reps snatch balance first. Then switched back and forth between PS and SS at each weight. I did reps of each until I failed a rep or felt like the technique was solid enough to stop.

Literally one of the best to ever do it. From an outside (and a little biased) perspective, Kelly is in a different class of coach than just about anyone else that is going to come on these pages. Whether you're a new kid around here or a veteran, anything with this dude's name on it is a must-watch.

Globo wod: If you have access to bumper plates and a barbell you're all set. Warm up well and get at it. If you don't have access to bumper plates and only have iron plates, build up to a weight that you can control down and focus on technique. It's OK to use blocks to elevate the bar to proper starting position or to do hangs if you don't have proper diameter plates. Dumbbells sub 3's dumbbell power snatches each side for the series then 2's overhead squats each side for the snatch balances, then finish with the 1's of squat snatches. Be warned that dumbbell OHS and squat snatches are much more difficult than their barbell brethern, so take your time warming up and focus on good technique. If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets with good form.


Bodyweight sub: spend 5-10 minutes each working on the following skills: Pistols (or progressions), knee jumps and broad jumps, and handstand holds.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Weightlifting. High output followed by full recovery. Jumping with heavy weight, upright torso, squatting with loss of connection.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM


HEAVY x


TECHNIQUE SCALE

Pick one of the three lifts and just to a traditional max effort format, 10+ reps each set


CONSISTENCY SCALE

On each lift spend 5 seconds in the landing position


INTENSITY SCALE

Do a short sprint or burpee set before each lifting set to make a light weight feel heavier.


MY STUFF

Checked the box today, sets of 5 at 95, full squat to work on flexibility. I was being a pansy.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 4
