Step-by-step instructions
- 01Stand with the barbell at arm's length in your snatch grip, feet in your pulling stance, and your weight balanced over the whole foot.
- 02Brace your trunk, then hinge slightly and bend the knees until the bar rests at the upper thighs with the shoulders directly above it.
- 03Reverse direction and push vertically through the floor, extending the hips and knees forcefully while keeping the bar against the body.
- 04After full extension, shrug and pull the elbows high and out to raise the bar toward the chest without leaning back or turning it over overhead.
- 05Keep the bar close as you lower it under control, absorb it at the high hang with bent knees, and reset your posture before repeating.
