CrossFit Journal Article of the Week: Learning How To Do Full Snatches by Bill Starr
The full snatch is one of the most complicated movements in all of sports. An athlete has to pull a weight upward with force and speed, then completely reverse his mental keys to explode downward under the still-moving bar. His foot placement, body positioning and lockout have to be precise when he hits the bottom or the bar will crash to the floor.
The snatch is the ultimate in athlet- icism, and the pole vault is the only other movement that’s compa- rable in terms of concentration and difficulty. In that event, the athlete has to run at full speed and then direct that speed vertically. In the snatch, the conversion is from moving upward bearing a heavy load to moving downward—a more severe shift. To be able to perform a snatch with a maximum poundage is a feat of strength without peer….
Learning how to do a full snatch benefits not only strength but many other athletic attributes, such as flexibility, coordination, foot speed, balance, timing, determination and mental acuity.
