The Snatch – From ground to overhead in one fluid movement

Pyrros Dimas, Snatch

Pyrros Dimas, BW-185lbs, Personal Best Snatch 397lbs

Why snatch?
First and foremost because it is fun.  You can’t master the snatch in a week, month, or a year.  There is always room for improvement, some people may be turned off by the technicality of the lift but for me that makes the snatch more enjoyable.  It is more of a personal fitness journey, and not a destination, you keep chasing improvement because perfection is impossible.

The snatch will make you strong, fast, flexible, coordinated, and functional.  Yes, please, and thank you; I would like all of the above.  Check out my boy Pyrros Dimas below….one of the most powerful human beings on the planet!
