Why?
The snatch grip demands a greater range of movement, so this is not one for novices. But once you’ve mastered it, you get much more tension in your mid and upper back.

How?
- With your feet hip-width and shins touching the bar, bend down to grab it. Your index fingers should rest on the outer ring of the knurling.

- Pull your hips down and raise your chest. Take a deep breath to stabilise your lower back, then drive up, thrusting your hips.

- Straighten your knees, then slide the bar back down the front of your legs to the start position.

Form
Push your shoulders back – don’t let the weight make you slouch.
