February 19-25, 2024 – 5 Day Weightlifting Program

With empty bar:
8 Back Squat, 8 Deadlift, 8 Press
4 Muscle Snatch, 4 Overhead Squat
4 Power Snatch, 4 Snatch Balances
4 No Feet Snatch

*Every new line means take a short break before moving to the next movements

A.
Every 90 seconds, for 4:30 (3 sets):
Tall Snatch x 2 reps
Drop Snatch x 2 reps

Build over the course of the three sets.
These are meant to be warmup / positional exercises, not meant to go “heavy” on them

Why we do No Feet Snatches

Feet should start in your landing position. They shouldn’t lift off the ground completely but you can come up on your toes.
