Crossfit Trainer Practice Test Level 1

What is the final step in the snatch teaching progression?

1. Overhead squat

2. Hang snatch

3. Deadlift shrug

4. Snatch

The correct answer is: Snatch

The final step in the snatch teaching progression is performing the snatch itself. This means that after progressing through foundational movements and skills, including the overhead squat, hang snatch, and deadlift shrug, the athlete is ready to put all these components together in the full snatch. The snatch requires not only strength but also the ability to employ technique learned in prior steps. By the time an athlete reaches this final stage, they should have developed the necessary mobility, coordination, and timing required to execute the movement effectively. The prior steps in the progression serve to build the requisite skills, and as such, the snatch represents the culmination of this training journey, allowing athletes to demonstrate their proficiency in the movement.
