FAQs
Can I run this program alongside my normal training?
YES! This program is designed to be run alongside your normal training. The volume has been kept relatively low so that you're not forced to stop all other training. Of course, athletes will need to make sure they are resting and sufficiently recovering in order to make progress!
Will this program teach me how to Snatch?
While this program has been designed to correct many common errors in the Snatch, athletes will need to already have a working knowledge of the movement.
