Muscle Snatch

The muscle snatch is a weightlifting exercise that involves lifting a weight from the ground to the overhead position with a quick pull and a shrug at the top of the movement. It is a variation of the traditional snatch, where the lifter pulls the barbell from the ground to the overhead position without the use of a hip drive or leg drive. This variation targets the upper body and core muscles as the lifter must generate power solely through the arms, shoulders, and core.
