Build over the course of the 10 sets to something heavy. A Snatch Lift-Off is the first portion of the snatch, from the ground to the knees. Keep your torso angle consistent through all phases of this lift-off, and pause 2-seconds at the knees each lift-off. After your lift-off, reset and perform a full snatch.

Classic Clean, Press, Burpee Workout

AMRAP in 20 minutes of:

  • 5 x Power Clean @ 43kg
  • 5 x Push Press @ 43kg
  • 5 x Burpees

Results: I’ve done this workout twice before back in 2014 (11 sets plus 10 reps and 14 sets plus 10 reps) but those times used only 40kg and did some strength work before.  This time as shown above did exactly 15 sets (pushed hard to get the last 5 burpees).
