Embed this drill
Writing a program, or running a club site? Paste this into your page beside the line that names the drill, and your readers get it moving, with its band and the fault it fixes, and a link back here for the rest. No video, so nobody's face. To show the band in loadable weights, add ?snatch=80&units=kg to the address in it, with your lifter's snatch. Coaching a squad? Read the whole team sheet at once, with a link for each lifter.
How heavy
50–60% of your squat snatch — see it in kilos. That is a band, not a prescription: where in it you work depends on the day. It is a conventional coaching band rather than anything measured here — treat it as where to start on a drill you have never done, then let the bar tell you the rest.
It trains catching low, getting under it.
In order
One bar, not set down between the parts: drop snatch, then squat snatch. A complex is held to the hardest thing in it.

More from complexes
Two or three of the above back to back on one bar, without setting it down between the parts. The first rep sets a shape up and the last one has to keep it, which is the entire point — and the load is governed by the hardest thing in the sequence, not the easiest.
