I love the squat snatch. What do y’all max? I’ve been stuck at 195 for almost a year. 200 feels like I’m lifting a fricking car.

I bet I could do 55 lbs.

Work on technique with the light weight. Focus on a good squat snatch instead of just moving up the weight on a power snatch. I hit a plateau on the power at 145.

My power snatch is 195.
I haven’t attempted a full squat snatch over 175 in a while.

I still have trouble getting low for snatches. Haven't done tons of them yet. I think I got to 115 or 125 with power snatches.

Most refer to a squat snatch as one where the catch is in a full squat.
Folks that can really lift drop as far under as they can to minimize distance needed for weight to travel up.
Most newbies have higher power numbers which is pretty indicative of being pretty uncomfortable under the bar
I know that is the case for me

Catching in the squat position. Anyone ever split snatch? It’s similar to a split jerk. I’ve messed around with some lighter weight but scared to push it too high.

Question about reps vs weight. Example came to mind this week. Let's say we are to do 4 sets of front squat max reps, then 2 minutes rest between. What's the difference to the body between one doing...say 100lbs a total of 120 reps vs 135lbs a total of 60 reps?

in those types of workouts, I would suggest doing a weight that you can do at a constant rate for a full 4 minutes
Posted on 1/24/18 at 10:27 am to Salmon
Nope, never going to do that.

I don't have an answer for you, I'm not a trainer.. but they should have a recommended rep range your sets. Whoever came up with the wod should have had a rep range in mind and communicated that to the other coaches. That should help you determine what weight to use for that particular workout.
I feel like you have a really negative attitude about your WODs pretty often

it doesn't mean you have to do front squats unbroken for 4 minutes but you want to be able to consistently keep your pace for the entire 4 minutes
but that I mean if you are doing 10 unbroken in the beginning and then only doing 1 rep the last minute then you are doing too much weight

Yesterday was a 12-min AMRAP:
15 OH squats
10 ring muscle ups (i did jumping pull ups)
It was my first real introduction to a proper OH squat.. i did the bar. By the end (i got 5 rounds + 5 reps), shoulders were gassed af. I don't feel like my gym does enough OH squatting. They tend to do more jerks, push press, or strict press to get shoulder work in, but man OH squats are a hell of a movement. In front or back squats my hip and ankle mobility doesnt seem to be a limiting factor but it was HARD to reach depth on the OH squats. Definitely need to do more of those.

I can't reach proper depth for OH squats either
I lack the upper back mobility

Not sure why this is coming up now, because I really liked this one. Seems to me that both you and salmon are ignoring the question, and answering a question you would have liked me to ask.

Oh. I read that wrong. For some reason I read that as 4 min. My bad.
As for that scenario, I'd go heavier weight then.
