Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic lifting day to follow yesterday's longer effort. Depending on how you feel, use today as an opportunity to work on technique or to lift something relatively heavy. The repetitions in each set do not have to be touch-and-go. You may regrip and take no more than 10 seconds to perform the second lift. The snatch in today’s effort can be performed as a power or squat variation. Newer athletes should focus on developing consistently sound mechanics before adding weight.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.
To reduce the complexity of the movements, consider performing hang power or hang squat snatches.
In case of injury or limitation, perform dumbbell snatches. If there is an overhead limitation, perform cleans instead.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.
Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.
Coaching cues:
If you find yourself jumping forward on your lifts, try getting your head and shoulders behind the barbell at the finish of the second pull.
