Yeah I'm confused. How does a person do a snatch press ATG?
If it's a full snatch caught all the way down in a full squat, it's not a press in any way.
Are you putting the bar on your shoulders, then squatting down, and pressing the bar up with a snatch width grip while holding the bottom position of a squat the entire time?
A snatch press half squat? This...there is no way this is a thing that actually exists lol. What exactly is it you are doing?

It trains positional strength, and stability, in a way that is more specific to the snatch.
It's as you described.
You Press behind the neck, holding the bar at snatch width, while maintaining the position of the bottom of the squat.
When the weight increased - I compromised on squat depth.Last edited by Damnentia; 01-15-2019 at 10:02 AM.

You're really into the Oly lifts, are ya? I recently switched to the muscle snatch after a long stint with the power snatch. I can't claim proficiency with the full snatch, but I had great success with the squat clean and push press, the king of ass kicking exercises. Kudos for doing extremely difficult stuff.
All my numbers are clean and presses, btw.

Well, that is the skill it is supposed to train. :P
You can find it by the name - “Press in Snatch", or " Sots Press".
*The reps I've done in higher positions are on the dumber side, though, but then again, I just wanted to press; I squatted for the heck of it.
Nice! O:
TBH, I'm fairly new to weightlifting.
I actually had problems deadlift and pressing when I started, and the coaches around were pretty much useless, but pulling with Snatch Grip and pressing behind the neck felt very convenient, so I actually did stupid exercises before starting weightlifting. I had some troubles with the squat too, so I mained the Front Squat.
I moved about 3 months ago, resolved my shoulder pain, and took a few sessions with good coaches, to work on form.
It's funny how I could Front Squat 100kg, BoR 85kg+ for reps, Pendlay almost 90kg with both clean and snatch grip, and do Snatch SLDL with a huge deficit for 120kg, and Snatch Press 60kg...
...Yet my Squat was at 50kg for 5s, my Deadlift...kinda similar, Bench was 50-ish, and OHPing with 20kg was a disaster.
But I'm catching up!
Squat: 135kg
OHP: 80kg-ish
Bench: 95kg
Deadlift...Well. I still hate the Deadlift. Snatch SLDL is at least 135kg though!
*My weightlifting technique is so bad, my Muscle Clean is 87.5kg, yet my Clean is under 80. /:
*And I'm having a hard time receiving in the Snatch.
(But I'm in good hands, and should be back to my weightlifting group in two weeks).

Go lighter, but as heavy as you can while receiving correctly and do an isometric hold: https://www.t-nation.com/training/th...raining-method
... or just continue to finish with a push until you don't have to.

When feeling stupid, I ocassionaly do Front Rack Holds (and calf raises) with 150% of my Front Squat.
And then again, I can do Overhead Squats and Snatch Presses heavier than I can snatch.
What I probably need is learning how to drop, and fixing my bar path from the 3rd pull onwards.
I have some heavily ingrained habits from Latin Dancing that have to be overcome.
Anyways, looks like my injury healed fine. O:
*Which means I'm back to cutting; no more silly volume work for the Press in the following 7 weeks. :O

I'm pretty sure you're supposed to do holds with your work set weight or lighter.
Rippetoe has fantastic advice if you have all the steps down pat: "By giving the body a general task instead of a specific one, you move your brain out of the way and allow your accumulated motor skills to solve the problem.”

I'm afraid I didn't completely get his advice.
*Front Rack Holds is something I introduced when my dance teacher told me that my butt was sticking out...I hyperextended my hips, and she then noted that she wanted me to do it with my abs instead.
Apparently, I got so used to the hip hinge, I forgot how to use the abs and iliopsoas...
I used that exercise to train myself to assume the right posture fir that dance under load...i don't need 8t anymore, TBH. (and I definitely don't need it to be so much higher than my Front Squat).
I trust my coach - she's a world-class level weightlifter, and she's satisfied with my progress so far. (I'm still here on myself, though).

Here's the example given in the article: 'Which cue do you think allowed my body to take over for my brain…?
“Tighten your abs.. no, your lower abs.. bend at your hips and approach parallel with your torso.. avoid bending the knees.. squeeze the glutes on the way back up and stand tall..”
OR
“Close the car door with your ass and snap your hips back up..”?'
P.S. I was given the same admonishment by both my dance and ballet teachers, a long time ago.

ROFL!
You refer to the' external' vs 'internal' que thingie.
I actually retaught myself the correct position by "trying to align my butt with my spine *while* locking the butt in place".
I kinda thought about moving the butt forward, yet at the same time locked it in place hard, and then that in turn contracted the correct muscles.
I then tried doing it with a barbell in my hands, and it felt like a weird RDL, and I didn't like it.
Moving on, I used Tricep Extensions with rope in a manner that felt more like standing decline Press. My natural instinct would be bending on top of it, to press it with my weight, and the pecs, but forcing myself to keep assuming the "correct" dance posture made me work my abs isometrically. I challenged myself by standing in the 3rd position, or standing on my toes.
Eventually, my Triceps became the limiting factor...
So my quest for an ab exercise done standing, and preferably in a way that is more specific to dancing...ended up with free weight Calf Raises.
The thing is, doing it with 150% of my l Front Squat made my thoracic extension is very strong "up there",
But when I try going fir heavy front Squats, I round forward in the pit. (might also be the reason why I can muscle clean 87.5kg, but have trouble cleaning...70...)
My trainer prescribed doing half Squats (only the bottom position) and good mornings,
Funny enough - I planned to do 1 1/4 Front Squats and rotate Good Mornings / Press In Snatch on Tuesdays in my cutting routine anyway.

It's odd that you can lift more in the muscle clean than you can in the clean. There's any number of ways to isometrically train the abs while standing. If you don't mind jumping, tuck jumps will fry your abs. Doing them consecutively, immediately one after the other is best, but if your technique isn't perfect, your lower back might be sore for days.

It's about not "exploding", and also being noticeably stronger and more stable while being erect.
The first comes from lack of good technique; the latter (in my case) screams that I have to work on control stability and control below parallel.
In other words, If I can muscle 80kg+ up high, yes, I should be be able to muscle heavier weights to a lower point...add explosiveness to it, an "in theory", I should be able to do well with 110, perhaps 120kg.
But in reality I can't recover from 70kg caught below parallel, and have troubles Front Squatting 105kg.
