WODprep Strategy Top Tips:
For the Snatch Ladder workout, you’ll be lifting at different percentages of your one-rep max (1RM) snatch. Make sure you know your 1RM snatch weight before starting the workout.
Here’s a strategy to tackle each set:
-
10 Snatches @ 65% 1RM:
- Use a weight that is approximately 65% of your 1RM snatch.
- Aim for quick and efficient singles.
- Take short breaks between repetitions, but try to keep rest time to a minimum.
- Focus on good technique and a solid lockout overhead.
-
10 Snatches @ 75% 1RM:
- Increase the weight to approximately 75% of your 1RM snatch.
- Again, perform singles with short rest intervals.
- Concentrate on a powerful pull and solid catch.
-
8 Snatches @ 85% 1RM:
- Now, the weight should be around 85% of your 1RM snatch.
- Be prepared for a more challenging set.
- Continue with singles and maintain good form.
- Take slightly longer rest if needed but keep pushing yourself.
-
8 Snatches @ 90% 1RM:
- This is the heaviest set of the ladder, with approximately 90% of your 1RM snatch.
- Singles are the way to go here.
- Take short but strategic breaks to maintain your form and complete the set efficiently.
