Lift the barbell from the floor to overhead in one continuous movement, catching it in a full overhead squat. The snatch is one of the two Olympic lifts: an expression of speed, power and precision, not grinding strength. It rewards patient positions off the floor, an explosive hip extension, and a fast, confident turnover into a stable catch. Learned in progressions — most sessions train it light to moderate with perfect positions.
Skip or adapt this movement if any of these apply — and check with a professional when in doubt.
