Hang Snatch + Chin Ups

Strength Workout (SWOD) 5 x 5 Hang Squat Snatch (Work up to 70% 1RM) Workout of the Day (WOD) 21-15-9 KB Snatch (53/26) Chin Ups Tips: The snatch is not a big swing. If you try to get the bell overhead with a straight arm you’re going to hurt yourself. At the top of its arc the bell will be traveling at its highest speed and it is at that point that it will whip around your hand and smash into your forearm. Next thing you know you’ll have bruised yourself and be thinking that snatches hurt you. The key is that you need to realize the bell has three different arcs – one for the swing, one for the snatch, and another for the clean. Each one gets closer and closer to the body. ]]>
