OHS Practice & Prep

OPTION A
If the weight for the OHS (M=95lb; W=63lb) is ~70% or more of your snatch, then complete 5 sets of the following Clean to OHS Position progression:

First, clean the bar;
Second, partially push press the bar, raising it just high enough to move it behind your head and onto your shoulders;
Third, widen your hands to your snatch/OHS position;
Fourth, keeping the hands wide, push press the bar from your shoulders into the overhead position so that you are ready to begin the OHS;
Fifth, drop the bar – do NOT squat the weight, this drill is simply to prepare you for getting the bar into the OHS position

OPTION B
If the weight for the OHS (M=95lb; W=63lb) is less than 70% of your snatch, then complete 5 sets of 3 Pause OHS, snatching the bar into position and pausing for a full 2-1000 count at the bottom of each rep
