Natalie Burgener
Beautiful first pull by Natalie in this photo. When we do Snatch Grip DL we are essentially practicing the first pull of the snatch. Remember the first pull is a positioning pull; an attempt to move the bar efficiently to a strong position for the second pull- jump, violently extend the hips, and accelerating the bar as fast as possible.

Notice

  • Flat back/Good lumbar curve
  • Vertical shins
  • Tall chest/doing everything she can to raise the shoulder and hips together
  • Hook grip
  • Straight arms/arms are like ropes/when the arms bend the power ends
  • Shoulders slightly in front of the bar
  • Bar in contact or very close to the shins/pulling the bar into her body
  • And the Best for Last – Intensity and Aggressiveness/you can’t do the Oly Lifts with a timid heart
