Build to today’s heavy…
Snatch x 1 rep

Make jumps of 5-10 lbs as you build loads. The goal should be to accumulate volume of PERFECT repetitions from the various positions as you build to your heaviest loads. Please understand that “”today’s 1-RM”” may not mean your lifetime PR. The purpose is productive training, so keep the focus on good mechanics, and push only when it feels good to do so. If your mechanics start to breakdown, you have achieved “heavy” for the day.

Athlete Notes:
One of the best parts of these “lifting” and “bodybuilding” centered days is that they pair up with olympic lifting. All too often in CrossFit, real dedicated olympic lifting tends to take a back seat because we’re focused on the conditioning that we have coming up. Take advantage of these days and truly focus on the task at hand. The snatch is a very technical movement, and unless you’re snatching over 300/225, there’s 100% something you can continue to fine tune. We’re placing these “bodybuilding” style workouts after some technical oly lifting because we want your focus to be dedicated to improving your technique and getting stronger. That’s the part of the season we’re in! When you get to the accessory style work, focus on any reps, tempos, and positional work prescribed. Try to perfect your movement patterns and help eliminate any imbalances so that it transfers over later on!
