Movement Standards
Hang Snatch
For the Hang Snatch, power, squat, and split snatches are permitted. The first rep taken from the floor must achieve a deadlift lockout before re-dipping to initiate the hang snatch. You will take the bar from the hang position, above your knee, and catch it overhead standing all the way up fully locked out. The barbell must come to full lockout overhead with the hips, knees and arms fully extended, and the bar directly over the middle of the body. If a split snatch is used, the feet must return in line with each other before the bar is lowered.
