For the strength segment, keep in mind these are not for time AND you can and should rest and reset yourself and your bar for each repetition.  Note that 1 set is 2 reps of each so four sets will look like this:  Round 1 (70% 1RM Snatch) – 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn, 2 sn pulls + 2 pwr sn.

For the conditioning workout, scale pullups with a band as necessary, but stay chest to bar.  Do not rebound on your Box Jumps.
