The Snatch
The Snatch is the first of the two competition lifts in Weightlifting. In it, the bar travels from the floor to overhead in a single movement.
The snatch is performed with a wide grip. A good way to check the correct width is stand with the bar and spread your hands until the bar sits at your hip below you lower abdomen and above your pubic bone. As you progress in technique and your own style, you may want to tweak the width accordingly (also if you gain or lose weight, optimal width can be affected).
