The drills · The first and second pull

Snatch high pull

A snatch pull that keeps going — elbows high and outside once the hips have finished, never before.

The same pull, carried on into the elbows once the hips have finished.

Playing at half speed, so the turnover is visible.

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

85–95% 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 finishing the pull, raw pulling strength.
