SNATCH
The snatch is a wide-grip, one-move lift that includes four main styles of snatch used:
- squat snatch
- split snatch
- power snatch
- muscle snatch
The squat snatch and split snatch are the most common styles used in competition. The snatch movement involves the lifter lifting the bar as high as possible while pulling themselves under it into a squat position, receiving the bar overhead with the arms straight. The goal is for the lifter to straighten up into a fully upright position with the bar above his/her head and arms fully extended.
CLEAN AND JERK
The clean and jerk is a close-grip, two-move lift. During the clean movement, the lifter moves the barbell from the floor to a racked position across the delts.
From there the lifter moves through the jerk by lifting the barbell to a stationary position above the head.
The goal is to finish with straight arms and legs, and the feet in the same plane as the torso and barbell.
FRONT SQUAT
The front squat is not a weightlifting movement, so it does not add to your total score, but we keep front squat records for fun.
