Today you get to work on your tall snatch. It says “moderate” load. This should be a load that is somewhat challenging but that you’re able to hit with solid technique. This is listed as a skill, and because of that, technique is the priority over weight. That is a tough pill for many to swallow, but it’s important because these are the sessions that allow us to dial things in. If it looks less than ideal, be prepared for the coach to tell you so and ask you to lighten the load. Here’s some specifics from Catalyst Athletics:

Execution
Stand tall with a snatch-width grip, the bar hanging at arms’ length and the feet in the pulling position. Pull the elbows up and out aggressively, and pick up the feet. Pull yourself down as quickly as possible while replacing your feet flat on the floor in your receiving position and locking the bar overhead in a squat. Attempt to get the bar locked out overhead as quickly as possible, although it will be near the bottom of the squat.
 
Notes
This exercise is very intimidating at first and seems impossible. Get set and go immediately—the longer you stand and think about it, the harder it will seem.
Purpose
The tall snatch can help train and reinforce the proper mechanics of the pull under the bar, and train speed, aggressiveness, confidence and precision in the turnover.
