    snatch, verb - to make a sudden effort to seize something; grab

    snatch, noun - the act of or an instance of snatching; a bit, scrap, or fragment of something; in weightlifting - a lift in which the barbell is brought in a single motion from the floor to an arms-extended position overhead

    I was told that I have a heavy snatch.

    Was that a compliment?

    You start with a nice big bar that requires two hand, or something more managable if you're just doing it with one, and you grab a hold of it and take it all the way in one solid motion.

    LOVE the other answers, but here is what I found:

    The snatch is one of the two olympic weightlifting events (the other being the clean and jerk).

    The essence of the event is to lift a barbell from the platform to locked arms overhead in a smooth continuous movement. The barbell is pulled as high as the lifter can manage (typically to mid chest height) (the pull) at which point the barbell is flipped overhead. With relatively light weights (as in the "power snatch") locking of the arms may not require rebending the knees.

    As performed in contests, the weight is always heavy enough to demand that the lifter receive the bar in a squatting position, while at the same time flipping the weight so it moves in an arc directly overhead to locked arms (the quick drop). When the lifter is secure in this position, they rise (overhead squat), completing the lift. Alternatively, the lifter may use a split style to get under the bar.

    The lift requires not only great strength, but mastery of technical skills, a high degree of shoulder flexibility, excellent balance, and speed. However, power and strength do play an important role in differentiating athletes in competition, particularly at advanced levels, where the majority of competitors have mastered the technical aspects of the lift.

    This lift requires coordination, torso (core) stability, and explosive power of the legs to generate the upward momentum required to snatch hundreds of pounds overhead. Tremendous speed is required to get underneath the bar after the second pull.
