Iron Grip CrossFit – CrossFit
Today we practice the snatch. Easily the most technical and complex movement we do in CrossFit. But for all its subtleties, it really comes down to pulling the weight from the floor to over your head in one fluid motion. It’s a pull, jump and land. Elegant. Not easy. But elegant.
Here is a video of the current world record for the snatch in the men’s super heavyweight division. Watch the speed.
