Snatch

1RM Test

Warm up (sample warm up progression below, notice the sets at lower weights) and test your 1RM. If you’re feeling good then try to set a new personal best. If not then warm up and try to make a few singles at or above 85% of your previous 1RM.

If you’re newer to the lift, or just want to break it down a bit, perform the complex of: Snatch Deadlift + Hang Power Snatch + Overhead Squat.

Sample Warm Ups (Previous 1RM of 145): BB Drills, 75 x 3 x 2, 95 x 2 x 2, 105 x 1 x 2, 115 x 1, 125 x 1 (85%)
If you’re feeling good then… 132.5, 140, 147.5

Press outs are missed lifts, as are any part of the body other then the feet touching the floor or taking more than a few steps forward on the recovery.

Behind the Desk: Rachel Cochran

This fall you can look forward to new installments of our Behind the Desk series, about our beloved and much appreciated front desk staff! These CrossFitters take care of the important duties of checking in our members, handling walk-ins, tidying up after classes, and so many other things that it would take forever to list them. They are the glue that holds this gym together. First up is Rachel C.!

Name (and any nicknames):

Rachel Cochran

Where were you born and where did you grow up?

Born and raised in the “Athens of the South”—Nashville, Tennessee

How long have you been CrossFitting, and how did you arrive at CFSBK?

I’ve been doing CrossFit for about a year and a half. Prior to CrossFit, I spent a few years doing road races and triathlons. I finished a big triathlon and realized there was more to life than spending, quite literally, 10+ hours exercising on a Saturday. Not long after, I joined CFSBK. Here, it’s almost like half the work is done for me. I show up, do what the coaches say, and I’m out in an hour. It’s a dream!

What are you recommending right now?

Sushi and podcasts. Current gold medalists: Silver Rice and My Favorite Murder.

What are you up to when you’re not at 597 Degraw Street?

I’m the co-founder of a communications and design firm, Beachy Media. We work mostly with endurance sport and lifestyle brands, which roughly translates to sitting behind my computer and talking about fitness. Shout out to CFSBK for being a much-needed daily break from the screen, and well… giving me a chance to work out instead of just talk about it.

What are your favorite and least favorite lifts?

Favorite? Deadlifts, easily. Least favorite is Bench Press because I swear my upper body is filled with air.

What are three (non-essential like food and water) things you can’t live without?

Iced coffee, dogs, and lakes.

Any front-desk public service announcements?

Save a LaCroix for me!
