Description: Setup and Positioning: Place a barbell on the floor close to your shins. Take a wide snatch grip on the bar. Lower your hips, keeping the weight on your heels, your back straight, head facing forward, chest up, and shoulders slightly in front of the bar. This is your starting position. First Pull: Drive through your heels while maintaining your back angle and keeping your arms straight. Extend your knees and lift the barbell, moving it in a controlled manner until it is just above your knees. Transition: As the bar approaches your mid-thigh, start to extend through your hips in preparation for the second pull. Second Pull: Perform a quick, jumping motion by extending your hips, knees, and ankles. This should accelerate the bar upward without actively pulling with your arms. Aim for a fluid and explosive extension. Full Extension: At the end of the second pull, your body should be fully extended and leaning slightly back. It’s important that this extension is violent and abrupt, but do not stay extended longer than necessary.
