Workout of the Day

7 sets for load of:
1 hang power snatch
1 overhead squat
1 hang squat snatch

Increase load each set.

Post-Workout Challenge

3 sets:
1 hang power snatch
1 overhead squat
1 hang squat snatch

Choose your own load, and make one attempt.
Hands must stay on the bar; no breaking between sets.

Post load for each part to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a heavy snatch complex, building in load. Remember that heavy is relative to you — challenge yourself with a heavier weight while still maintaining sound mechanics. Check back to your most recent snatch and overhead squat numbers to help gauge today's lifts.

Each step of this complex builds on the last, zeroing in on a specific piece of the snatch. On the hang power snatch, focus on full hip and leg extension, pulling into a sound partial overhead squat. On the overhead squat, focus on a solid overhead position through the full range of motion. And on the hang squat snatch, focus on full leg and hip extension with an aggressive pull-under into a full overhead squat.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
7 sets for load of:
3 hang power snatches
3 overhead squats to a target

Practice mechanics and fine-tune technique.
