Snatch: how to do it
1 of 5
Wide grip, bar over midfoot
Starting position
Stand hip-width with the bar over mid-foot, bend your knees and take a wide grip with a straight back.
The movement
Pull from the floor, extend fast and catch the bar overhead with straight arms in a deep squat, then stand.
Most common mistake
Don't let the bar swing forward, keep it close to your body and catch it directly over your shoulders.
