Practicing the Snatch
We practiced the full snatch technique for most of class today. The snatch is one of the olympic lifts (snatch, clean, and jerk) and it is a complicated lift with many athletic rewards. The snatch is NOT DANGEROUS and many coaches don’t teach it due to a lack of knowledge of the lift and the complexity of the lift.
