Barbell Pressing Snatch Balance

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Place a light bar on the upper traps with a snatch grip, set your squat stance, and brace the trunk before the bar leaves the back.
2. 02Begin a controlled descent into an overhead squat while pressing the bar straight up from behind the neck, without using a dip-and-drive to launch it.
3. 03Keep constant upward pressure through the arms as you move under the bar, and rotate the shoulders so the bar finishes directly over the middle of the foot.
4. 04Settle into the bottom with locked elbows, an upright chest, and even pressure through both feet before changing direction.
5. 05Stand up from the squat under control, stabilize overhead, and lower the bar safely back to the upper traps before resetting.
