STRENGTH

Pause Hang (Squat) Snatch
2-2-2-2-2

Notes:
Pause for 1 full second at the hang, with the barbell just above the knee, on each rep. This is a full snatch, receiving the bar in a full depth overhead squat. Beginner athletes may do a Pause Hang Power Snatch + Overhead Squat to a depth they can control and maintain points of performance.

For Time
10-8-6-4-2 Reps Each Of:
Hang Power Snatch
Alternating Single Leg Squat (Pistol)
Chest to Bar Kipping Pull-Up

Notes:
The intent today is a relatively fast workout, ideally under 10 minutes. The barbell and pull ups should be achievable in 1-2 sets from the beginning, so scale accordingly. The pistols are total, alternating reps (10 alt/5ea in first round), and should be deliberate. Choose a scaling option that is challenging enough you cannot rush through it.
