Goal: Build to 80-85% on the Power Snatch
Primary Objective: Develop power and barbell proficiency under a structured EMOM while maintaining volume and control in the strict press.
Secondary Objective: Engage midline endurance with weighted sit-ups, reinforcing core strength to support overhead positions.
Stimulus: Olympic lifting skill and strength development with an emphasis on overhead stability, barbell cycling mechanics, and midline control.
RPE: 6-7/10—Barbell work should be heavy but repeatable, avoiding technical breakdown. The strict press will feel challenging in later rounds, but each set should be controlled.
