Chris S. and Rob S. jokingly coined a new term tonight after watching several missed snatches behind the head. The “snatch-through” looks like a pass through except with a barbell being dropped behind the head on a miss. After 100 push-ups the brain, body and muscles are not primed and ready to fire for a technical pulling lift like the snatch. Catching the barbell becomes a serious challenge as supporting that weight overhead as you tell yourself to dive under the bar is no easy task. I think almost everyone missed the first 1-2 snatches after the push-ups as the brain had to reboot and switch to thinking “pull”.
This is what we mean when say “lock out” and “finish”:
