A Few Things to Focus on in the Snatch

The snatch is a much easier movement to learn than the clean. Here’s how to simplify it.

  • Think about the barbell moving as a result of your jump and your shrug, not your arms. The more power you create from your lower half, the better.
  • Pull the barbell up, do not swing it out. The bar path should be mostly vertical.
  • Drop under the bar quickly.

Jump and catch. Jump and catch. Jump and catch.

Tell yourself that over and over, and simplify the complex.
