THE SNATCH

The snatch is one of two Olympic lifts and the fastest way to move a load from the ground to overhead.  It takes a lot of power, speed, strength, flexibility, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy to move the load properly and safely.  When done right, it is a beautiful movement to watch.

This photo of Thuan Dang captures the sheer speed involved in doing a snatch.  You can see that Thuan has come to full extension on the second pull and has begun the third pull (the pull under the bar) of the snatch.  In the background, Stevie fights to stand upright after receiving the bar in a full squat.

Here's a video clip of Stevie Adkins doing a 125# high-hang snatch with near perfect form.
