Hang Snatch
The snatch started from the hang at the knees.
How to do it
Setup
Snatch grip, bar at the knees in a hinge, back flat.
Steps
- Drive the hips through from the hang.
- Pull under and catch overhead.
- Stand with the bar locked.
Common mistakes
Hips starting too high: hinge properly; the hamstrings load the throw. Bar away from the thighs: brushing contact. Slow under: the shortened pull demands a faster turnover.
Breathing
Breath in the hang, exhale standing.
