The third pull, or getting under the bar after you have “finished” with a strong shrug or jump to create upward momentum on the barbell, demands speed. Too slow and that bar just falls from below the chest back to the ground as your hands and elbows flail around. Pull under fast and you will solidly hit your receiving position for the bar in the front squat (for the clean) or overhead squat (for the snatch). When we program these strength workouts, use the time and load to practice your speed and technique. Do that and your loads will go up.

Call to action:
This past weekend a CrossFitter named Kevin Ogar competing in an event in CA (the OC Throwdown) suffered a terribly tragic and freak injury during a Snatch event. After being struck by the barbell on a missed snatch he was left with a separated T11/T12 and severed spinal cord with no feeling below the injury. He has no medical insurance and is facing unfathomable medical bills. The CrossFit community in a few days has come together to help and so far has raised over $130k in donations for him. The outpouring of support both financially and spiritually is moving. If you would like to help and donate then you can do so below. Any amount helps.
