The basic movement of the third pull of the snatch is simple: the elbows need to move out and up toward the shoulders, reaching approximately shoulder height (usually slightly below), before the arms are turned over, and during this turnover, the elbows should remain at the same height relative to the shoulders and then continue moving up—they should never drop from this level during the turnover. (Note that this elbows high and out position is often misrepresented as the elbows being forward over the bar, which is incorrect; they do move backward as well, but primarily upward.)
