How heavy

40–50% 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 getting under it.

Faults this drill fixes

Pulling with the arms
The bar feels heavy the whole way and never seems to float. Your biceps are tired after a snatch session, which they should not be.
Long arms until the hips finish — the elbows are the last thing to move, not the first.
Slow under the bar
There is a pause at the top of the pull. The bar hangs, then you get under it, and by then it is falling.
Elbows around and punch — the fastest part of the lift is after the bar stops going up.

More from the receiving position

Getting down to meet the bar rather than waiting for it to come to you. The load is low here because the thing being trained is where you end up, not what you can pull.
