Split Snatch

Develop explosive hamstring power with this Olympic variation.

The split snatch develops power, precision, and balance in a dynamic lifting motion.

Instructions

  1. Set up with a wide grip and bar close to your shins. Stand with feet hip-width apart.
  2. Drive through your heels to lift the bar, keeping it close to your body.
  3. Extend powerfully through your hips, knees, and ankles, then shrug and pull the bar up.
  4. Drop under the bar into a split stance, one foot forward and one back, catching the bar overhead.
  5. Stabilize in the split, then bring your feet together to stand tall and complete the lift.
