How to Perform Power Snatch
Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and position a barbell on the floor in front of you. Grip the bar with a wide overhand grip. Bend at the hips and knees while keeping your chest up and back neutral. Drive through your legs and extend your hips explosively, pulling the bar upward close to your body. As the bar rises, quickly rotate your wrists and pull yourself under it, catching the bar overhead with your arms fully extended while staying above parallel in a partial squat. Stabilize the bar overhead, then stand upright to complete the lift.
