Snatch High Pull

Snatch High Pull

The snatch high pull is a weightlifting exercise that is used to improve the second pull of the snatch lift. The second pull refers to the explosive upward movement of the barbell in the snatch lift, where the lifter brings the barbell from the knee to the hip and then to the full extension of the body. The snatch high pull is performed by starting with the barbell on the ground and lifting it using a similar technique as the snatch lift, but only pulling it to the level of the hips instead of overhead. The exercise targets the same muscle groups as the snatch lift, including the legs, hips, back, and shoulders. It is a compound exercise and focus on power and explosiveness. It is important to use proper form and technique to avoid injury.
