Muscle Snatch

The muscle snatch develops timing of the hips into the arms as well as encourages a vertical bar path after the hips and an active and aggressive turnover and lockout.

Cues:

• Everything is like a snatch from the set up through the second pull

• Keep the legs locked after you extend the legs and pull elbows high to keep the bar close

• Keep the elbows up as you turnover and push into the lockout

Mistakes:

• Dropping the elbows and then pressing the bar out with a wide grip strict press motion

• Swinging the bar out

• Early arm pulling
