Programming Note
This marks the first week of a 6 week snatch cycle. It won’t be the only strength movement we do, but there will be more of an emphasis on snatch movements each week. Also, most squat days will be at a prescribed percentage of your 1 rep max. Read the notes for that day’s movements, often all sets should be done at the prescribed percentage.
