The pause snatch is a full snatch, but with a 2 second pause in the hang position after the first pull from the ground. The hang is defined as middle of the thigh. In this position, your shins should be perpendicular to the ground, knees slightly bent with tension in the hamstrings, bar pressed into the thighs, and shoulders in front of the bar. Pause for 2 seconds and then jump, bringing your hips to the bar and exploding into that second pull.
The metcon is an ascending ladder over 7 minutes. Start with 1 hang power snatch and 2 burpees, then increase the reps to 2 hps’s, and 4 burpees, continuing in this fashion for 7 minutes. Your score is the total amount of reps achieved. Remember that the snatch must start in the hang position, you may not pull directly from the ground to overhead.
