I was traveling last weekend. I did this today, Friday, when I should have been doing the Open WOD. I'm kind of behind so I am mixing the assignments up a bit. I struggle with bars in the overhead position; I am much more proficient with a dumbbell. So instead I did 10 reps, alternating, at each of these weights:


33-36-41-46-51 lbs


In between sets I did 4 minutes of each of the SLIPS elements.


I'll do the Open WOD tomorrow which, presumably, will be a Rest Day.

At first I hadn’t remembered ever doing these, but I must have at some point because the movement didn’t feel as awkward as I had anticipated. Kept it light to work on form.

Definitely miss doing WODs regularly. Hopefully work will mellow out soon. First time trying these & it felt really weird so did a form drill; 6 rep per set and switched lead foot each rep.

This was pretty hard after the last couple workouts. But, haven't done Split Snatches seriously (only light or with dumbbells for warmups or just messing around) since 2011 or 2012, back then I could do maybe 65lbs.

What are SLIPS?

Dominick, SLIPS is the acronym for (gymnastics) scales: front & back, L-sits, inversion (handstands), planks and stretching.

Globo scale: if without bumpers you can do technique work with hang split snatches, then work to a controllable heavy single. If without a barbell do alternating dumbbell split snatches, working to a heavy single. If you max out the dumbbells do fast alternating singles if technique is good.

I did 20.4 instead today and did singles of C&J after

3 x 135

2 x 155

1 x 165 (PR)

The weight is relatively light, (power clean PR is 205), so I am just very conservatively progressing as I learn the Olympic lifts.

This is always an interesting movement to coach due to the technical demands. Some of my athletes actually perform better with this snatch variation when compared to a power or full snatch. Here are some thoughts on scaling/modifying this one:

I will have most of my experienced athletes attempt this workout exactly as written and use loads that allow for sound mechanics to be maintained. For athletes that have experience, but mechanics are lacking, I will likely increase the reps slightly (2-3 per set) and keep the sub-maximal to allow for a little more practice. For athletes with little experienced snatching, I will assess them during the skill progression to see if I want to alter the movement to a power snatch, or hang snatch variation (power or split), if the technical demand of this movement too much currently. I will also increase the reps slightly to allow for more practice.

Have fun!

I’ve never done split snatches, so I took the buildup conservative. Told myself if o could at least hit the same weight as my power snatch I did well, and I did :)

Champions Club Scaling Notes:


RANT

I am going back and forth on this one, trying to figure out if I want to do a split snatch with the group or regular snatch. This could be one of those movements like kettlebell snatch or burpee over bar that are... not quite a gimmick movement, but more like really specific. It depends on what you want to get out of the movement, though. This could be a great opportunity to practice that lunge shape that is really important for us to have. If you are doing the split, switch feet on every rep until you get to singles. Like I said, still on the fence. Also, Clemson would not go undefeated in the AAC.


I SHOULD TRY THIS AS RX'D IF: I can go heavy enough for 1 rep to feel like a good workout


FIRST TIME WITH CROSSFIT VERSION: AMRAP in 20 minutes of: 10 hang power snatches, 20 lunges


GROUP VERSION: still undecided. depends if I think the lunge shape is worth introducing a movement that won't come up a lot. I'll probably go session by session


INJURY VERSION

Themes are: unilateral loading, jumping, overhead, max effort, rest. Pick two movements that you can do for max reps with a rest in between.


WARMUP

Lunge - split prep

Handstand - overhead prep

Pull-up - overhead prep and hanging

SLIPS


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 2

Try it Chris - it's important to learn new skills. I am sure you were hesitant to learn the regular snatch at first, and over time you became better at it.


Same thing here - new skill, stay lighter and focus on mechanics and add some reps to allow you to dial in the technique.


You might be surprised at the group class too - some of your members might have an easier time doing a split snatch than trying to get into a full snatch.


You won't know unless you try - this will help you become a better coach along the way as well.

Warm up for 191103:

GENERAL WARM-UP


2 rounds of:

200-m jog

10 PVC pass-throughs

10 alt. jumping split squats

10 overhead walking lunges with PVC

10 v-ups


SPECIFIC WARM-UP


Split snatch

Perform two rounds of 5 reps of each using a PVC pipe in the first round and a barbell in the second round:

Dip, drive, and shrug

Hang muscle snatch

Jump and land in split with PVC overhead

Hang split snatch

Split snatch


Build-up

Build-up to first working set by doing sets of: 3-3-2-2-1. The first set should be challenging but should also allow for gradual build-up across the first few working sets.

INTENDED STIMULUS

.

Sweet! Coordination is one of the main attributes of fitness. Challenging ourselves by learning new technical movements is a step in improving it. If you have never done split snatches before, your objective is to get to know the movement and make sure that you are moving well by the end of the workout. If needed to add reps to the singles, feel free to do so. If, on the other hand, you feel very confident about this movement, then go for it. It will be a very valid experiment to see how does the split snatch compares to your squat snatch. You can follow the guidelines below to warm up and learn the movement. Remember how fun it was to learn how to snatch? You can always find that same joy, either with the snatch itself or with new technical movements. Find your joy!



▶ Split Snatch


5 SuperSets

5 Behind the neck press in split position

7 Scarecrow split snatches

9 High hang split snatches


Loads: empty barbell to light


then


4 SuperSets

3 Low Hang High Pulls

2 Low Hang Split Snatches


Loads: light to light/moderate


then


Build to a moderate triple split snatch from the ground.


SLIPS

let's go back to our dynamic SLIPS. We did last in 190923. This time increase the hold in each position.

Cycle through these drills. Do 3-5 transitions on each station.

▶ Transitions from front scale to back scale on each leg: the idea is to keep your balance during the transition, just one foot on the ground. Hold each scale for 5 seconds on each transition.

▶ L-Sit to tuck on rings: transition from a tuck hold to an L-sit, and back. Hold both positions for 5 seconds. If not proficient with the L-sit yet, transition from a support hold to a tuck hold and back.

▶ Inversion: transition from a handstand to a tuck headstand. If not proficient with the handstand yet, transition from a full headstand to a tuck headstand and back. Hold each position for 5 seconds. If not proficient with the headstand tuck hold (tripod position), practice that today.

▶ Planks: guess what? Push-ups are dynamic planks. Today transition from a gymnastics plank position to the bottom of a push-up hold, and back. Hold each position for 5 seconds. Do this on a rack if needed.

▶ Stretching: Google: thebarbellphysio overhead mobility. Choose one stretch. Work on it for 2:00.

James, for a lot of people with tight shoulders this movement can actually be the strongest snatch variation for them. Give it go, maybe just bump up the reps slightly to get more practice time.
