The more comfortable you get squatting with weight over your head, the more comfortable the Squat Snatch becomes. The better your Squat Snatch, the more weight you can do in the Squat Snatch, making you overall stronger and more fit! Keep the arms fully locked out, and armpits facing forward throughout this lift.
