One of the major benefit of Olympic weightlifting is the amount of muscles used in a single repetition. The Snatch, Clean and Jerk recruits the use of every muscle in the body to work together at one time. Studies have shown a consistent Olympic weightlifting program can lower resting heart rate, increase lean muscle mass, lower body fat percentages, improve sport performance and vertical jump ability.
The Snatch is a very technical skill that requires time to develop and master.
