Snatch - Barbell

Description

Starting Position: Stand where you feel you can jump the highest, hinge at the waist to get the chest and shoulders over the bar, engage shoulders, and position your hands outside shoulder-width with arms extended. 

Procedure: In one motion, quickly extend your ankles, knees, and hips while simultaneously driving the elbows up and outward, pulling the bar to mid-torso. Drop under the bar by pulling yourself under the bar into a squat as you transition it overhead, catching the bar with extended arms. Stand tall, then lower the bar to the start position. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions. 

Coaching Keys: Jump vertically, keeping the bar close to the body. Pulling the weight upward, you should feel the bar float vertically. During the catch, pull the shoulder blades down and together.

Feel it: Workin your entire body.
