Movement Tip: The Hang Power Snatch

This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Hang Power Snatch for us. By this stage you may be getting a little confused as the length of the movement name grows longer and longer! But if you break it down, it’s a fairly simple combination of the last 3 variations of the Snatch that we covered: 1. Hang – starting from above the ground (usually just above the knee) 2. Power – don’t have to drop into a full squat position 3. Snatch

Points Of Performance

  • Hands wide enough that the bar rests in crease of hips when legs and hips are extended

  • Hips and shoulders rise at the same rate
  • Then hips extrend rapidly
  • Heels down until hips and legs extend
  • Shoulders shrug, followed by a pull under with the arms
