Base Camp, 6/20/15

Focus: Snatch
Workout: OHS & Burpee

This coming Saturday’s class will focus on why the Snatch, as well as the other Olympic lifts, are used in our programming, as well as the ups and downs of learning such technical movements. This will include
– Practical review of the Snatch movement, focusing primarily on the Hang Power Snatch, and including lifts with both just the bar and with added weight;
– Appropriate scaling for both strength and met-con based classes involving the Snatch; and,
– Scaling and substitution options for the class workout, including how and when to choose a scaling/substitution option;

To review before class, we highly recommend checking out the following descriptions and demo videos from Catalyst Athletics:
