Hang Snatch This exercise is basically just the second half of an Olympic clean. (Clean, then bring the weight above you head.) In this exercise, you start with the bar at waste level, then bend your knees and jerk the bar up above you head to the final position in one quick motion.
Description
  1. Start with a wide prone grip and with the bar at waist level. While arching your back and keeping your shoulders over the bar, bend at your hips and knees.
  2. While jumping, shrug your shoulders and powerfully pull the bar upward.
  3. Bend down into a squat and get under the bar as you turn your wrists over and catch it above your head with locked arms.
  4. Now complete the exercise by standing up from the squat position.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • Always keep your back straight and use your legs and arms rather than your back to lift.
