How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Set a tight snatch starting position with a wide grip, the bar over the forefoot, and the trunk braced.
  2. 02Push through the whole foot and keep the bar close while maintaining the back angle until it passes the knees.
  3. 03Continue driving vertically with the legs as the bar reaches the lower-to-mid thigh.
  4. 04Extend the hips, knees, and ankles forcefully, then shrug up and back while keeping the arms long or only slightly bent.
  5. 05Let the bar return under control, reset the start position, and repeat without turning the pull into an overhead snatch.
