LEARN TO SNATCH - LESSON 1 - OVERHEAD SQUAT Learn to Snatch from U.S. Olympic & Team USA coach, Harvey Newton. We'll show you how to perform this lift safely and effectively. The Overhead Squat is a movement used to assess a lifter's readiness to learn the squat snatch. It is also part of the sequence used to successfully learn the squat snatch. This is NOT a primary exercise in which heavy weights are used; it serves primarily as a warm-up prior to squat snatching. In the initial learning process, use only a dowel, PVC, or light bar.
