Strength
Power Snatch
2 reps @ RPE 6
2 reps @ RPE 7
2 reps @ RPE 8
2 reps @ RPE 9
Strength Tip
Objective: build to an RPE of 9 for 2 repetitions in the Power Snatch.
In this set, we are using the RPE chart to regulate the training intensity. The chart ranges from 1-10, with 1 being absolutely no effort, and 10 being a maximum effort.
If your technique is not there yet with the snatch, stay above the knees and master this position first before adding more range of motion. Make sure your weight is in the middle of the foot, and your back is straight with their shoulders pinched back. From the ground lift the bar and receive the bar in the “power” position with the hip crease above parallel.
