Goal: Build to 80-85% on the Power Snatch
Primary Objective: Develop power and barbell proficiency under a structured EMOM while maintaining volume and control in the strict press.
Secondary Objective: Engage midline endurance with weighted sit-ups, reinforcing core strength to support overhead positions.
Stimulus: Olympic lifting skill and strength development with an emphasis on overhead stability, barbell cycling mechanics, and midline control.
RPE: 6-7/10—Barbell work should be heavy but repeatable, avoiding technical breakdown. The strict press will feel challenging in later rounds, but each set should be controlled.
Workout Strategy Notes:
Power Snatch: Focus on crisp, efficient pulls. The 1.1.1 format encourages resetting between reps to reinforce technique and avoid rushed lifts.
Strict Press: Stay engaged through the midline and control the bar path. The final two sets should feel near max effort but still maintain strict form.
Weighted Sit-Ups: Maintain core engagement throughout the movement. Choose a weight that allows for smooth reps without excessive strain on the lower back.
