Another really good overall body builder. I like this one for the pure overall body strength one can build

Yes it is lot of movement burns lot of calories and uses every major muscle I even do it with females jus much less weight little higher rep pattern it's one those movements when you have someone start doing it they like it cuz they get quick results

Bump, if I had to choose one lift and only one lift to do over and over again it would be the snatch. Plus I like heavy front squats for their ability to build core strength and stability. Snatch balance is another good overall strength builder

tonights workout was

snatch with 3 overhead squats build up to 80% then cleans. build up to 80% of 1RM then 4x3 at 80%.

i too LOVE front squats. my front squat 1RM and back squat 1RM are only 40lbs apart. lol!

I always liked working off of percentages

Now that's tight!! lol I feel that front squats are definitely more of a full body exercise over back squats. With very heavy frt squats you definitely have to keep your core and shoulder girdle very tight, more so than back squats in my opinion.

Cool

Are you training in general or do you have a meet in mind?

Curious about numbers, there is only 9kg difference between Sn and cl&pj. Was that the focus for this session, ie: snatch, or is this a very typical spit in wt between the two lifts?

not training for anything particular.

i have a coach that programs the workouts.

the snatch routine was based off 220#.
my 1rm max is/was 225# its been a while since ive gone for a snatch max.

the power clean/push jerk was only intended to be "heavy".
my power clean 1rm is 275#
push jerk is just under 300#
