    How to: Barbell Heaving Snatch Balance

    1. Start with the barbell at your shoulders.
    2. Engage your core and grip the bar securely.
    3. Quickly dip your knees and extend your hips, pressing the bar overhead as you stand.
    4. Catch the bar overhead in a squat position, ensuring the bar is stable.
    5. Stand up fully while maintaining the bar above your head.

    Common Mistakes

    • Not maintaining a straight back during the lift.
    • Allowing the bar to drift forward instead of keeping it directly above the head.
    • Rushing through the movement without control.

    Modifications

    • Perform the exercise without weights initially to focus on form.

    Tips

    • Maintain a tight core throughout the lift.
    • Ensure a steady stance to enhance balance.
    • Practice the movement with lighter weights to master the technique.
