To perform the Snatch, get into position by squatting with your feet slightly wider than hip width apart while grasping bar with a wide overhand grip against the shins. Keep your back flat and chest up, with your shoulder blades squeezed together. Arms are straight. Extend your hips by standing up in a controlled movement. As the bar clears the knees, drive the hips forward as quickly as possible. Immediately follow by shrugging the shoulders upward, keeping your elbows above your hands, allowing the bar to float upward. After the bar reaches maximum height, drop your body underneath it, catching the bar above the head in a quarter squat position with fully extended arms. Return to start position and repeat.
