Why do they squat down with the weight overhead in the third step of the Olympic snatch lift instead of skipping from the second step directly to the fourth step
They are already standing up after transitioning from the first step to the second step
Why go back down again?
1st, 2nd then 4th
or 3rd to 4th make more sense to me
Is there any benefit to including all 4 steps as a single exercuse in that order other than for competition?

@shortstories Answer: Because that's the Snatch by definition. There is another excersize that does skip that step but it has a different name: The Power Snatch
