Tall squat snatch
The same drill ridden all the way to the bottom. Nothing sends the bar up but your speed getting under it, which is a humbling thing to learn.

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
40–55% 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, catching low.
Faults this drill fixes
Catching high
You receive it standing and then squat it, or you power snatch everything and only squat when it is truly heavy.
Meet the bar in the bottom — pull yourself down to it rather than waiting for it to come to you.

More from the receiving position
