How to Do the Perfect Power Snatch (Complete Guide)

Perfect Power Snatch Technique

The power snatch is the ultimate expression of explosive power, taking the barbell from floor to overhead in one fluid motion. ChAIron's AI coaching breaks down this complex movement for perfect execution.

Step-by-Step Form Guide

Setup:Wide grip on barbell, feet hip-width apart, shoulders over the bar
First Pull:Lift bar to knees, maintaining back angle and bar contact
Second Pull:Explosively extend hips, knees, and ankles - "jump" the bar up
Turnover:Pull yourself under the bar as it reaches peak height
Catch:Receive bar overhead in quarter squat position, arms locked out
Recovery:Stand up fully with bar overhead to complete the lift

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Pulling with arms too early instead of using legs
Bar drifting away from body during the pull
Incomplete hip extension in second pull
Pressing the bar overhead instead of pulling under
Catching with bent arms or unstable position
