“1 Rep Max SNATCH!!!”

It’s Friday!!!

OK…

I Really Wish I Could Be There For This One…

SNATCH!!!

Not A Muscle Snatch… Not A Power Snatch… Not A Split Snatch…

SNATCH!!!

Unless Your Coach Says OtherWise… The DESIRED Movement Is A Snatch…

After The Warm Up…

Round 1…

You Will Row 500 Meters… Then Attempt Whatever Weight You Decided To Throw On Your BarBell…

If You Get It… Add Weight & Continue Onto Round 2…

That Means That If You Get The 1st Out Of 3 Lifts… YOU CANNOT ADD WEIGHT UNTIL THE NEXT ROUND!!!

HOWEVER…

If You Miss That Lift… You Will Have 2 More Attempts… For A Total of 3 “Attempts”…

That Rule Applies For Each Round…

But If You Get The Lift… You’re Done For That Round…

Make Sense?!?!

For Me… My Weights Would Look Like…

Warm Up…

BarBell… 75lbs… 85lbs… 95lbs… 105lbs… 115lbs… 125lbs…

Round 1… 135lbs…

Depending On How That Felt… Round 2 Would Be mEither 145lbs Or 155lbs… But If It Felt Really Sloppy… I Might Even Try 140lbs…

Let’s Just Say It Was A “Good Day”…

Round 1… 135lbs….

Round 2…145lbs…

Round 3… 155lbs…

Round 4… 165lbs…

Round 5…. My 1 Rep Max Is 175lbs… I’d Shoot For 180lbs…

And Hopefully… PR!!!

OK…

Now… You Have To Stick With The Same Weight For Each Round… The Only Time You Can Lower The Weight Would Be The Next Round If Needed…

So Let’s Say For My Round 1…

135lbs… 1st Attempt- MISS… I Can’t Go Down In Weight… 2nd Attempt- MISS… I Can’t Go Down In Weight… 3rd Attempt- MISS… And Now I’m Back On The Rower AND NOW I CAN EITHER LOWER THE WEIGHT FOR WAKE THE F–K UP & GET THAT BARBELL OVERHEAD & STAND IT UP!!!

SCARED?!?!

Remember That Olympic Lifting Warm Up I Posted Up Months Ago In My Garage?!?!

There’s A Reason For Not Only A “Good” Warm Up… But A Warm Up With A Plan… A Goal In Mind…

Wanna Get Sweaty?!?! Go Run The 800 Meter…

Wanna Get Efficient?!?! Well Then Focus On The Task @ Hand…

********************************************************

ALRIGHT… HERE WE GO!!!

——————————————

Not For Time… But Kinda For Time… But More For Weight!!!

5 Rounds:

500 Meter Row…

3 Attempts @ A 1 Rep Max Snatch

… TIME!!!

********************************************************

3…2…1…GO!!!
