Workout of the Day
12 Minutes to build to a heavy set:
1 Snatch Pull +
1 Snatch High Pull +
1 Muscle Snatch
All of these are drills. This is a partial snatch broken down into component parts. The first pull is like a fast deadlift, the second adds high elbows and the third is taking the bar overhead without dropping under it. Since you aren’t getting your body under the bar, the weight you lift will be much lighter than your normal snatch.
Feel the difference! You should want to naturally drop under the bar.
Movements:
Snatch Grip Deadlift | Snatch Pull

5 Rounds
5 Power Snatch (115/85)
10 OTB Burpees
After the snatch drills, it should feel good to drop under the bar, even if it’s only a short squat. Scale the load to where you can move through five reps without too much rest.
OTB = Over the Bar
