No ordinary snatch.... (Tuesday 2 June 2009)

We continue our look at the Olympic lifts; today a variation on the snatch. Instead of the now standard squat snatch we will be looking at the split snatch which used to be the norm in olympic competition. Some people find this easier to master; probably because it's less intimidating to get under the bar than a full squat snatch.

The Cash out today focuses on an often neglected part of fitness - flexibility. Just because it's not sexy doesn't mean we should forget it entirely!
