Instructions

  1. Grip a barbell with a wide snatch-grip and press it overhead so your arms are fully locked out and active.

  2. Stand with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, keeping your chest proud and core braced tight.

  3. Initiate the descent by pushing your hips back and bending your knees while keeping the bar directly over the middle of your feet.

  4. Squat down as deep as your mobility allows while actively pushing up against the barbell to maintain shoulder stability.

  5. Drive firmly through your heels and midfoot to stand back up, keeping the barbell locked out overhead the entire time.
