Kettlebell snatch and them some.

I am not a fan of "big Box gyms" but I don't believe they should be trashed by other is the fitness business. Leave the demonizing to the media and politician's which is their expertise.

There are only a couple of variations of snatch when using a barbell or dumbbell. However, the Kettlebell has a dozen or more depending how creative you can get with shoulder articulations. This is one of the advantages of kettlebells you have when you first start working on Olympic lifts. It usually requires more flexibility using a barbell, but you can learn the same motion with a kettlebell quickly. After you have perfected the basic kettlebell snatch, you can start to use the variations of lateral, side, frontal, kettlebell snatches. One of my favorite is the lateral snatch which is more of a traversal movement and resets the shoulder into the joint socket better sometimes than the straight frontal snatch. However the most difficult version, is the snatch into a squat clean and up into an overhead squat. Or snatch two kettlebells from the sides of the legs instead of between the legs.
