Welcome To CrossFit Virtus

CrossFit Virtus’ Mission:  To provide every client/athlete a fitness program that is broad, general and inclusive, dedicated to increasing individual functional capacity.

CrossFit Virtus is like no other fitness model or program you may have attempted in the past.  CrossFit programming is universally scaleable.  Every workout of the day (WOD) is fundamentally sound, allowing maximal benefit from the first-timer to the most elite athlete.  Every client/athlete will receive personal instruction and training in order to ensure safety, efficacy, and efficiency.

Snatch Transfer

3 Position Snatch, 1-1-1-1-1 or Overhead Squat, 3-3-3-3-3 (not for load…for technique)

Perform a full snatch from 3 different starting positions consecutively. The positions and order can be changed depending on the needs of the athlete and the training objectives. Most common would be floor, hang and mid-hang. For technically proficient athletes, start low and work high to increase fatigue and limit the distance and time available to accelerate the bar in order to improve second pull power. For athletes learning technique, start high where the athlete will be more comfortable and work low to add in more complexity.
