Hang Muscle Snatch (How To, Why & Common Mistakes)

Coach Horton teaches how to do the Hang Muscle Snatch, why and when to use it within your programming and 3 common mistakes to be mindful of. Step-by-Step Instructions: Using a snatch grip (hands outside the snatch rings), pick up the bar and stand tall. Pull the shoulder blades back and engage the lats to lock the back in the place. Put a slight bend in the knee and hinge forward by pushing the hips back and letting the bar slide down the thigh. Stop once the bar reaches the bottom of the thigh, just above the knee. Shoulders should be above or slightly in front of the bar. Now, explosively extend the hips and pull the bar high once triple extension of the hips, knees and ankles has been achieved. Finish the movement by rotating the hands above the elbow. The finishing position should be with the lifter fully extended. This is much different than most other variations of the snatch where the lifter catches in a full or quarter squat.
