Squat Snatch : 1×1

Before completing the squat snatches in the workout, we’ll build to a Heavy Single Squat Snatch
** For athletes with little to no experience to the squat snatch, or if they have limited mobility (safety is #1), Power Snatches and Chin Over Bar Pull-ups may be better options – as those are less risky **

MODS:
power snatch
hang power snatch
snatch grip push press (taken from rack) (good for beginners to get used to receiving a load overhead with a snatch grip)
DB power snatch

Athletes will have 15 minutes to build to their heavy single squat snatch
Aim to get in a lot of lighter sets in before building heavy, as the squat snatch is a movement that can feel better with more reps

21-15-9 reps, for time of:

Squat Snatch, 95/65 lbs

Chest-to-bar Pull-up
