Practice a movement

Learn the gesture and what the judge calls, then race it.

How to do power snatches

A simple version for now: this movement gets its own gesture soon.

  1. 1Hold anywhere: the athlete loads (wide grip, flat back) and the ring fills.
  2. 2Let go while the ring is in the green band. The more tired you are, the narrower the green.
  3. 3Hold anywhere again as the rep lands to chain the next one.

What the judge calls

A no-rep doesn't count: the rep runs back and you go again.

  • No rep · Missed the liftYou let go before the ring reached the green.
  • No rep · Lost the barYou held on past the green, or too long.
  • No rep · No lockoutYou started the next rep before the ring turned green: finish the rep first.
