FOR THE COACH

Stimulus 

• Workout brief: 
• Resource Links:  CompTrain Gym Resource Drive
• We’re in our 3rd week of our snatch cycle and should be building on whatever loads we used for our sets of 3 last week. Remind athletes that they should continue to perform whatever variation they’ve been using in the previous weeks. If the athlete has been power snatching in previous weeks, they should continue to Power Snatch today. In part 2 we have a high power, total body workout. The snatches should be a moderate load and complete in small sets or as quick singles. The wall ball volume should be something we could easily complete unbroken when fresh and for the sake of the workout we should pick a load and volume that allows us to complete them in 2 sets or less. Climbing by singles our goal would be to get into the set of 6 snatches on the low end and 10 on the high end. 
• Wall Balls | 2 sets or less 
• Snatches | Moderate load. Quick singles. 

‍

The One | Teaching Focus 

• Keep it close! 

• In the snatch we want to keep the bar close. Cue athletes to pull the bar into them throughout the pull. Cue athletes to pull the elbows high and outside as they pull the snatch overhead. 

‍

Modifications

Power Snatches 

• Reduce load 
• Reduce volume 
• Hang variation 
• Sub DBs

Wall Balls 

• Reduce load 
• Reduce volume 
• Medball / DB thruster 
• Medball squat 
• Goblet squat 
• Squat to target 

‍

Logistics

• In part 1, keep eyes on your athletes. These athletes have had multiple weeks to work on the snatch in this specific cycle. Continue to build on teaching points that reinforce proper mechanics and technique. Manage the lift times so that you watch a limited number of athletes at one time. 
• In part 2, It will be difficult for athletes to pair up due to the format of this workout. It would be better to have athletes complete this in a team format if you need to manage a large class. You can have athletes split reps and increase the timeframe slightly if needed.

Mindset 

“Roses that are left unpruned can become a tangled mess of old and new canes, all competing for air and light.” - Elizabeth Roth

‍

As the rose bush grows, it creates more buds that it can maintain. It doesn’t grow like a tree, as its physical size is limited, but the buds keep on coming. And if we don’t trim the buds down… the whole bush can exhaust itself and die.

‍

Ideas are like rose buds. They constantly need to be “pruned” or trimmed. If we don’t trim our ideas, just like the rose bush, we can overwhelm ourselves.

‍

Growth ideas are natural and it’s completely normal (and a very good thing) for new ones to come on a daily basis. But if we want to reach our full potential, it will require pruning, trimming, and a critical look at what needs to stay… and what needs to go.
