Second time hitting our Snatch Complex for this cycle.  With an increase on the %s, we increase the time per round by a minute.  Start the cycle off with a massive hip extension to get the bar moving, on the hang Snatch, you’ll be able to use a bit more posterior chin to get things going.  This should lead to a perfect set up for the final snatch of the complex.
