  WoD: "Splitting Hairs"

Split Snatch

1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 1

• Hitting an amazing movement which can develop the technique of absolutely everybody's snatch movement. No matter how well versed you are at the snatch there is ALWAYS more room to grow.
• Today we hit the split snatch. It is a variation of the full movement and is one way of hitting the lift if you struggle with the overhead squat. It also helps to develop timing & coordination in all forms of olympic lifting. Some valuable stuff can be had from doing a workout like this. Be sure not to miss out.
• Strength days, or "heavy days" are to be respected within the CrossFit prescription & programming. They are just as valuable as your "metcon" workouts. If you don't work on your strength training and dial in focussed technique you the progress will be harder to come by. These are the days we get to turn the clock off so to speak & not get flustered by "moving for time". There are certainly times for that type of lifting and we incorporate them into timed workouts to develop that side of your fitness.
• But true heavy days are where we get to geek out on the nuances of lifting weight. It is in this "geekery" that we can see & correct our faults properly. Take our time to rest & reflect and make changes in the very next set. Then we can truly test ourselves on what we are actually capable of and work off that in other training going forwards.
• Overall goal today is to learn, develop & refine. Once warm-ups are done lets use the 7 sets to build to a heavy single.
• Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
• Scale as needed.
