Notes on the Snatch:
The Snatch can greatly enhance athletic performance; thus, I recommend it to anyone who wishes to improve his game in whatever sport you happen to play. No matter what motion you require, a great majority of your strength will come from your core muscles and your legs. This exercise is one of the best "all-body" lifts for you to perform that hits both of those groups pretty hard. Because of that, this exercise can improve your athletic performance quicker (and greater in the long run) than almost any other out there for you to perform.
