This is a modified version of the Snatch Ladder from last year's open, the weights are a different.  On March 1st, 2012 I only had a 8.3kg Bar, 2-20kg plates, 2-5kg plates and 2-2kg plates so I used 48.3kg and 62.3kg.  I have more plates now and if I wanted to I could start with 75lbs instead of 105lbs,  but I wanted to work with the same loads to see if I have improved.  The RX snatch ladder is:
10 min. AMRAP
30 Snatches @75lbs
30 Snatches @135lbs
30 Snatches @165lbs
As many reps as possible @ 210lbs
