Without the option of catching in a full squat, the athlete must pull the bar high and focus on a quick change of direction. Complete hip and knee extension followed by a fast turnover of the bar is critical.

Power snatch - a complex lift as it combines strength, speed, coordination & flexibility. With the power snatch there is a re bend of your knee to pull yourself under the bar (muscle snatch - no re bend of your knee, see previous video). The power position is any where above parallel (hip crease above the knee). Think of actively pulling yourself under & punching the bar up into the sky, this will help your shoulders be more active in the overhead position. #powersnatch #weightlifting #workout #
