2004 OLYMPIC GAMES HOSSEIN REZAZADEH THE STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD (OLYMPIC SNATCH)

Strength:
Deadlift 3/3/3/3/3

Start modestly and increase the weight each set until you set a new PR on set 4 or 5. Once you set a PR or hit failure put it down, you are done your strength for the day. This can be on the first set or last. Recovery is key and we need to be careful with our training load to maximize our chances for  full recovery from one workout to the next

 WOD:
Snatch, 30 reps for time

This can be squat snatch, power snatch or muscle snatch as long as the bar goes from the ground to full extension in one smooth  movement.

I  haven't posted a load here because the snatch is arguable the most difficult movement in our repertoire. For this reason I am going to leave it up to you  to do a series of warm up sets of 3 - 5 reps until you find the most weight you are comfortable with for 3 - 5 reps. Once you have found it, that's the weight you are going to be doing for the workout.

Finish with one minute total front lever work
