Base Camp, 5/14/2016

Focus 1: Snatch Pull & Snatch
Focus 2: Elevated Snatch Extension
Workout: Burpee Box Jump & OHS

After the success of our last class focusing on the difference between snatching from the hang and snatching-from-the-floor, we thought we’d give it another go this coming Saturday. This time however, we’ll shine the spotlight a little more little more on taking lifts from the floor, including a new exercise for those who need just a little more help getting the hang of pulling from the floor. Class will include:

• Introduction and practical review of the pulling from the floor versus pulling from the hang, as well as combining the pulls and lifts;
• Follow-up review of the Elevated Snatch Extension, focusing on how to properly lift the bar from the floor while maintaining control of the hips;
• Explanation of common coaching cues;
• Determining how much weight to use during class; and,
• Scaling and substitution options for the Base Camp workout of the week, including how and when to choose a scaling/sub option

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