Olympic Lifting Series - Part 1 - The Snatch

The Snatch is probably the hardest lift to learn in all of CrossFit and indeed weight lifting. Its fast, explosive and needs a hell of a lot of cordination, balance and midline stability in order to keep that bar in the correct position overhead.

Sometimes when people come to the box they have no experience of the Olympic lifts and perhaps dont even know what they are. This video is intended for our members to recap what they have learnt in class and to watch in their own time to see just exactly what it is they are aiming for.

It is by no means a full instructional video of every teaching point but should be used as a reference guide after we have taught you at the box.

Always seek professional guidance when learning complicated movements such as the Olympic lifts. It will save you time in the long run and keep you from developing bad habits!
