Instructions

Setup

  • Start by standing with feet shoulder-width apart.

  • Perform a partial squat, lowering your hips back and down.

Movement

  • From the squat position, drive upward through your heels to return to standing.

  • As you rise, perform a quick, explosive "snatching" motion with one arm, pulling your hand from near your hip towards the ceiling, mimicking the movement of a snatch.

  • Maintain a tight core and neutral spine throughout the entire movement.

  • Immediately lower back into the squat pulse and switch arm movements, alternating which hand performs the snatch motion while your feet remain grounded.

Form Tips

  • Focus on an explosive upward drive.

  • Keep your chest proud and core engaged to protect your lower back.

  • Ensure that the arm motion is fluid and controlled, avoiding jerky or uncontrolled movements.
