High Hang Snatch by Ilian

In this video Ilian demonstrates a couple of snatches from the high hang. First you’ll see him use his back not his leg resulting in him hopping forward and kicking/looping the bar out making it hard to catch. The second lift he has a strong leg drive and vertical finish allowing him to keep the bar in close for an efficient lift. The high hangs are great for learning to drop under the bar, but also teach you to have a strong drive through the legs. If you have a habit of kicking the bar out you’re going to find yourself missing easy weights, and having to chase all your lifts.
