⚠️ Most common mistake: Yanking the bar with the arms early instead of letting the legs and hips drive the pull. Catching the bar with soft elbows, which collapses the lockout and risks shoulder injury. Letting the bar drift forward, which forces a missed lift or a heavy lower-back save. Skipping the squat depth and catching too high, which turns the snatch into a power snatch.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Keskivartalo.
