MOVEMENT TIP: The Hang Power Snatch
This week CrossFit Seminar Staff member Julie Foucher demonstrates the Hang Power Snatch for us. By this stage you may be getting a little confused as the length of the movement name grows longer and longer! But if you break it down, it's a fairly simple combination of the last 3 variations of the Snatch that we covered:
1. Hang - starting from above the ground (usually just above the knee)
2. Power - don't have to drop into a full squat position
3. Snatch
