Hi team. I’m currently doing Hypertrophy I Block 2. I wanted to keep a power movement so I’ve added a power snatch at the end of Day 2, doing an EMOM of 2 reps for 6 sets, on the minute. I wanted to check if this practice was ok or whether there might be a better place to put it? It has been feeling a bit awkward compared to get started (although this could just be my lack of skill in executing the movement). I wonder if, after doing all the arms sets, the lower body has gotten too cold or something like that?
Any tips would be appreciated! Thanks!

I don’t think that would be a great idea placement wise due to intraworkout fatigue. If you wanted to place it first or as a separate session in front of conditioning, that’d be my preference.
FWIW, I don’t think your power is likely to suffer from not doing the snatch for the entirety of the training program. On the other hand, more training is generally better, so it’s up to you how to spend your time. If it were me, I’d likely toss in a few sets of high velocity movement for the main squat, press, and hinge patterns I picked for the block after the main work was done. I’d use ~ 30-50% 1RM and do 2-3 reps per set for 2-3 sets.
