Perfect Squat Snatch Technique
The squat snatch is the full Olympic snatch requiring maximum mobility and receiving the bar in a full squat position. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures perfect mechanics from floor to overhead squat.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Setup: Wide grip on barbell, feet hip-width apart, shoulders over bar
- First Pull: Maintain back angle, pull bar to knee level with control
- Second Pull: Explosive hip and knee extension - drive bar upward
- Turnover: Pull yourself under the rising barbell rapidly
- Catch: Receive bar overhead in full squat position
- Recovery: Stand up from squat while maintaining bar overhead
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Insufficient ankle and hip mobility for deep squat
- Catching bar with arms not fully locked out
- Forward bar drift due to poor pull mechanics
- Not committing to getting under the bar
- Pressing the bar instead of pulling under
