The Workout

5 Rounds for Max Reps: Hang Power Snatches (3/4 Bodyweight), Handstand Push-Ups, Rest as needed between rounds

Primary movement: Hang Snatch/HSPU

What is Lane?

Lane is a max-effort couplet: 5 rounds for max reps of hang power snatches at 3/4 bodyweight and handstand push-ups, resting as needed between rounds. Your score is total reps across all ten sets. Like Lynne, there's no clock - just repeated trips to near-failure on a heavy relative-load barbell movement and a high-skill pressing movement. Lane measures shoulder strength-endurance from two very different angles.

Tips & Strategy

Stop every set 1-2 reps before failure; a failed snatch at 3/4 bodyweight is both expensive and risky. Rest 2-4 real minutes between rounds. Kipping HSPU stretch your total much further than strict - use them unless training strict capacity specifically. Warm the snatch to above working weight first so 75% bodyweight feels crisp. Expect your set sizes to halve from round 1 to round 5; plan totals, not per-set heroics.

Scaled & Beginner Versions

Scaled: hang power snatches at 1/2 bodyweight and pike push-ups. Beginner: light barbell or dumbbell hang snatches and elevated push-ups. Keep the max-reps-then-rest format.
