**Starting off the week with guns blazing. Hitting the Olympic lift followed by a push^/pull workout. Hang snatch can be scaled to a hang power snatch and overhead squat if you have trouble dropping into that squat right away. Then use the time to work on your technique for both movements before jumping up in weight too fast.
^Some people might @ me for calling a deadlift a push instead of a pull, but you’re using your lower half to push the floor away from the barbell to get it off of the ground. Sometimes the focus is so intense on the grip and the tight lats that you forget about setting your feet and hamstrings to pry the bar off of the ground. Give it a shot. As always for strength, deadlifts are done as dead stop, not touch and go, also called ‘bouncing’.
