The power snatch is received in a partial overhead squat. Without the option of catching in a full squat, the athlete must pull the bar high and focus on a quick change of direction. Complete hip and knee extension followed by a fast turnover of the bar is critical.

These will definitely be the toughest part of the workout for me! It's a lot more difficult to snatch that bar up over my head correctly if it's too much weight. These will be something i'll be spending time working on this year!!! 💪
