Workout of the Day

34

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

Part 1:

15.5-18.5 kg

Did all the drills of burgener warmup with it also


Part 2:

23.5-28.5-33.5-38.5(F) 3 times on hang squat snatches.

I can perform power snatch alright but not good on squat snatches. I have noticed that it is mentally atleast on this weight rather than physically, just gotta thinking that what if I couldn't do and just won't go into overhead squat as quick as it should be.

Elbow pain was my guide today. The spirit and desire were there to do this Rx, but listening to my body is more important. Did 2 sets of hang snatch high-pull and hang squat snatch with PVC to practice bar path, then used an empty barbell to practice the Rx movements for 6-7 more sets. Snatch high-pulls and power snatch were from the high hang. I wore my Rogue plate carrier (20#) for the last 3 sets to add a little something extra. All sets were 10+ reps cycling through the movements without putting the bar/PVC down.


Hopefully I am on the path to getting my elbows sorted out now that I have started some new treatments.

1st half:


Did 10 reps of each working on form with just the bar.


2nd half:


every two min.


65 lbs

75 lbs. - failed. Couldn’t snap the bar over head without turning it into a push press.

65 lbs - worked on getting lower in my squat to get bar overhead from here on out. Kept favoring right leg on the catch and stand up.

Is m0-10 target 50% of power snatch or of squat snatch? My big weakness is pulldown to the squat so I did ~50% of power snatch:


m0-10, 3~5 complexes at each: 35-45-50-55-60lbs

m10-20: 1 complex at each: 65-70-75-80-85-(90*)

*Failed the squat snatch at 10secs.


This was a great drill, worthy of many repeats. Dropping into the squat was much smoother after isolating the power work.

Part 1: 155lbs

Part 2: 165lbs, OH squats weren't happening today so the 3 reps were power/hang power snatches. Power snatched 185lbs but couldn't get the hang part.

Globo wod: If you are using iron plates today for part 2 use a load that you can bring down under control; if needed do sets across. If you are using smaller than standard plates today you can either elevate the bar up on some sort of platform, use spotter arms in a rack, or do a low hang for the snatches. Dumbbells sub one arm variations of the snatch and snatch pull at a light weight alternating, then go for a max weight alternating of the power snatch/hang squat snatch complex. Note that dumbbell squat snatches tend to be more difficult than barbell squat snatches, so start light and warm up the movement well before starting part one. As always if you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
