Snatch Deadlift

Technique

How to perform Snatch Deadlift

1. Set the bar close to your shins and take a wide overhand or hook snatch grip.
2. Bend the knees and hips, keep the arms straight and brace the trunk in the snatch starting posture.
3. Lift through the whole foot while keeping the bar close and approximately maintaining the back angle until it passes the knees.
4. Continue extending the hips and knees to stand tall without shrugging, pulling with the elbows or leaning back through the lower back.
5. Lower the bar to the floor under control without deliberately prolonging the descent.
6. Reset your starting position before the next repetition.
