The snatch balance is another one of those exercises that I wish I discovered when I first began training.
It is a superb full body exercise that improves coordination, mobility, and linking the upper and lower body.
If you want a great core strengthening exercise then try this one out.
When first beginning use a dowel.
Progress to a barbell and only increase weight when your form is sound.
Aim to do 3-4 sets of 5 reps when using a barbell or more weight.
If you are just using a dowel you can increase your reps (8-12) as you are just working on technique.
If you have limited range of motion in your shoulders then definitely try this exercise.
Just make sure to begin with just a dowel and do not add weight until you feel comfortable.
If you just feel too tight to do this exercise, then begin by practicing a snatch squat.
Progress to the balance once you have mastered the squat.
