Summary
Today's focus is on snatch technique and explosive power. We start with a comprehensive warm-up to prepare the body for the demands of the snatch. In the strength portion, we work on snatch triples to build skill and strength. The metcon complements by incorporating power snatches into an AMRAP that tests conditioning and keeps you moving.
