Scaling: The big idea is that we are going to work on Snatches. Reduce the load on each set to maintain solid mechanics while pushing the intensity. Think about technique first, the loads and # of reps are less important than the quality of movement.

Beginner Option:

10 squat snatches, PVC pipe or dowel
10 squat snatches, empty barbell ♀ 35 lb ♂ 45 lb
10 squat snatches, ♀ 45 lb ♂ 55 lb
