How heavy
60–75% 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 where the bar goes, finishing the pull.
