The Half Snatch. That's it's proper name but I heard it originally I think as the "health" snatch and I think that fits. Just like their is a "health" deadlift variation for us older guys I think this variation of the HS snatch is perfect for me.
It's got everything; the snatch, a negative press and a rack position,all in one lift. Plus , the eccentric forces are much reduced , and, with that, most of any concern I have for my bakc being overloaded.
This is the first time doing this and I think it has legs for me:
