The muscle snatch develops timing of the hips into the arms as well as encourages a vertical bar path after the hips and an active and aggressive turnover and lockout.
Cues:
- Everything is like a snatch from the set up through the second pull
- Keep the legs locked after you extend the legs and pull elbows high to keep the bar close
- Keep the elbows up as you turnover and push into the lockout
Mistakes:
- Dropping the elbows and then pressing the bar out with a wide grip strict press motion
- Swinging the bar out
- Early arm pulling
