Up the Snatch Ladder

The first week of our new Tier program is almost done.  We have made some modifications along the way and are really excited about the results we are seeing.  Change is not always easy, but you guys pretty much seamlessly adapted to this new program.  Thank you! We will continue to make adjustments and fine tune everything to ensure that our athletes are getting quality programming.  Today we will be working on the Olympic snatch.  After the warm-up, the majority of class will be focused on snatch technique and building up to a weight to start the snatch ladder.  Just like last weeks clean and jerk ladder,you will have 5 minutes to establish a 1 rep max snatch.  Only going up 5lbs(women), 10lbs(men) after each successful attempt.  After that we will take one minute to head outside and sprint 200 meters for time.  Have a great weekend!

Here is some Friday Olympic lifting inspiration.
