How to Perform Barbell Snatch

Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and position the barbell on the floor in front of you. Grip the bar with a wide overhand grip. Bend at the hips and knees while keeping your chest up and back neutral. Drive through your legs and extend your hips explosively, pulling the bar upward close to your body. As the bar reaches chest height, quickly rotate your wrists and drop under the bar, catching it overhead with your arms fully extended while lowering into a squat. Stabilize the bar overhead, then stand up to complete the lift.
