WEIGHTLIFTING TECHNIQUE - The SNATCH

10 Minutes

Coaches Tip

Good morning/afternoon WIT TRAIN Jenny Tong here! Today I'll be running you through the Stable Components of the Snatch. A hugely technical movement, and so we must nail the full list of components before we start lifting heavy!

Work on this with an empty barbell or a PVC pipe and only begin to add weight when you are comfortable and confident in each of the 6 positions. Hope this helps!

Position 2: 'End of the First Pull'

Position 3 : 'Mid Thigh Position'

Postion 4 : 'Maximal Extension'
