Snatch Pull

Legs · Barbell

How to do it

Snatch setup: bar against your shins, **very wide grip**, hips down with the weight on your heels, back flat and eyes forward. Pull with your legs and, as the bar passes your thigh, extend hips, knees and ankles with everything you have and shrug, letting the bar travel as high as it travels. **There is no catch**: you finish on your toes with the bar high. You can load more than a full snatch and train only the pull. The classic mistake is bending the elbows: your arms are ropes.

Variants

The drawing shows one way of doing it, and the technique above describes that one. Almost every exercise has variants — standing or seated, the grip, the bench angle — and is still the same exercise: if you do it another way, write it in the exercise note and you will have it every time you train it.
