Exercise Description

The snatch builds explosive full-body power by lifting a barbell from floor to overhead in one fluid motion. It develops strength, speed, and coordination like no other exercise.

How To

1. Stand with feet hip-width apart, barbell on floor with wide grip 2. Pull the bar explosively from floor, keeping it close to your body 3. As bar reaches hip level, drop under it and catch in overhead squat position 4. Stand up fully with the snatch weight locked overhead 5. Lower the bar safely to starting position and repeat the snatch movement

Form Tips

• Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire snatch movement • Drive through your heels and extend hips explosively • Drop under the bar quickly when performing the snatch • Lock your arms overhead before standing up

Common Mistakes

• Letting the bar drift away from your body during the snatch pull • Not dropping under the bar fast enough when catching the snatch • Pressing the bar overhead instead of catching it in one motion
