Hanging Power Snatch: On Repeat
Hello Friends! Today we’re going to spend some time working on the hanging power snatch in order to get some repetition under out belts. We will do spend some time going over the movement and then you will work up to a challenging weight, which will be heavier than you will use during the WOD.
We will focus specifically on the HANGING power snatch in order to really emphasize the hip drive and relaxed arms. This will allow you to really get this dialed in and not have to worry about the first pull from the floor which can tend to just add too much to ‘think’ about.
For the WOD, you will conduct one (1) hanging power snatch every 45 seconds for 20 rounds. If you feel like this is a lot, we originally tested this as 30 rounds with 1 every minute, so you’re welcome. (Thank Coach Nelly!)
Again, the weight here will be lightly challenging but not non-existent. You will need a weight that will assist you with the movement, and too light won’t be it.
This work can be easily done wearing the mask, so this will also be training on working out in the mask for both lungs and mind. It’s not as bad as you think it is but it will require you to be comfortable with being uncomfortable. But hey! That’s what we do! Now, get in here and get some.
