(A) Olympic Lifting Total
Snatch
Clean and Jerk
(B) 5min AMRAP
6 x Back Squats: 50/35 (add 5kg each round)
12 x Pull-ups
BRIEF:
After warming up, you will have 3 attempts to hit your 1 rep max for both lifts. Add both lifts for your Oly Total!
The snatch will be performed first and you will have a maximum of three lifts to complete (after your warm up sets). You will then perform the clean and jerk.
You will have three chances at a successful lift (after your warm up sets). Once you attempt a lift you cannot perform a lift that is of lesser weight. For example you cannot perform a 60kg snatch and then perform a 55kg snatch, even if you fail the first lift. So, choose your weights wisely!
SNATCH:
You will write on the board the weight of your first attempt and begin working up to that weight for your attempt.
If you are successful with the lift, you will choose the next weight you wish to attempt with.
If you fail with that lift, you will either have to attempt that weight again or go up in weight. You may not attempt a lift for less weight.
You will have three attempts at a successful lift.
CLEAN & JERK:
After you have completed your three attempts on the snatch, you will begin working up towards your attempt for the C&J. Make sure you write on the board what weight you will be attempting for the lift.
The order of lifts are organized the same way as the snatch and the same general rules apply.
Here is a summary of the important ones:
*No press outs on the Snatch or Jerk! It needs to be one continuous movement!
*You cannot drop the barbell in free fall. You must keep two hands on the barbell at least until it passes your waist.
*It must count as “No lift” any unfinished attempt in which the barbell has reached the height of the knees.
*It must count as “No lift” if you fail to finish with the feet and the barbell in line and parallel to the plane of the trunk. So… make sure you recover your feet after you split!
*It must count as “No lift” if any part of the body other than the feet make contact with the lifting platform or if the lifter walks off the platform during the lift.
