Workout of the Day

47

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.

Worked up to 165# (80%). Thought I was going to be able to go heavier, but the snatch pull before snatch sucked a lot of energy out of me every round. EMOM style is so fun to lift on. Just the right amount of heavy breathing and sweat for a lifting piece.

Hotel gym, subbed DBs. Completed a set on each arm and ran 1:15/rd to allow about 45s between.

Rd.1-10 = 25lbs

11 = 35lbs

12-18 = 40lbs

19-20 = 45lbs

Hped so much to dial in the timing. I could tell whenever shrug was early or late, or hips not fully extended. Great way to break it down and get it right.

Completed on 240504 due to all-day travel on Friday. Wanted to get after this but left elbow pain forced me to keep the weight low

Rx rep scheme

Minutes 1-10: 65#

Minutes 10-20: 75#


Thought I was good to go, but evidently aggravated the issue with the left elbow more than I thought on Tuesday.

EMOM in 20

Min 1-5 #65

1-4 very sloppy OH sets

5 performed ohs but step forward. I am really flexible but have a hard time with that movement. Warm ups go fine until weight is added, so it could be mental.


Min 6-10 #55

Scaled down to #55 for better form. Felt a little better but I'll take more wods like this to get where I need to be.


Min 11-14 #55

Low hanging snatch feels good but I realize I need to tape the bar where my hands should for this movement.


Min 15-20 #75

Same read out as 11-14


Overall, there was improvements on movements and definitely some lessons learned hand placement plus mat consider joining a box for short time to get better at the ohs.

First snatches in well over a year. Went super light and tried to focus on hitting the right grooves. Felt good, but I was rushing completion of the second pull. Practice makes perfect.

I think my biggest weakness (other than my general weakness) is in the snatch pull phase of the movement.

Fantastic technique progression workout for the snatch. Thanks, Rob.

Any suggestions? I can only snatch with 1-arm, but can do cleans with both. Should I just do this workout with 1-arm and dumbells? or should I incorporate some clean work as well, so both arms can get some work. I could probably do the snatch pulls with both arms - just can't do overheard work with one arm unless very, very light.

OHS & snatches are definite weaknesses, especially after a 2 year hiatus from CrossFit, so:

Worked through Burgener WU & skill transfer (thanks, for the reminder, Steven) then stuck with PVC for 1-5 & 6-10

15# training bar in 11-20. Will be adding in practice with these moves more often. Needed!


4 for 4 with great WODs this week, IMHO; looking forward to the remainder.

1 overhead squat

This was the the first time in a long while that I have been able to perform a snatch without elevating my heels. I was very pleased with this even though I had a very light weight.

Kept the weight between 90-105 lbs (40-47.5kg).


Perfect day to focus on my weakness, the Snatch. The later snatches felt so much easier after the focus on correct pulling in the first half (and later) in the wod. Ran into my old PE teacher from High School

Globo scale: load here should be light enough that iron plates shouldn't matter, however if the load gets heavy stick to a load that you can bring down under control. If a barbell isn't available use a PVC pipe or barroom stick and work snatch technique and the Burgener warmup and skill transfer, then work on dumbbell power snatches to Overhead Squats, then Squat Snatches, building to a heavy but good form single on each side.
