We are adding Snatch work into this session’s strength cycle. Similar to November’s addition of Front Squats and Squat Cleans, we’ll be using our Overhead Squat as a guideline for technique work and how to choose the appropriate weight.
Olympic Lifts like the Clean (and Jerk) and the Snatch should be practiced with an intention on technique, not raw strength. Moving beyond PVC, we will be adding some weight to the bar, but repetition and a solid foundation are key so we can throw them to you in a WOD and have faith in your technique. Remember, Mechancis, Consistency, then Intensity! Focus on the basics first and great performance will follow.
