How to: Snatch Pull

  1. Start with the barbell on the ground in front of you.
  2. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and grip the barbell.
  3. Inhale, lower your hips, and pull the barbell up in a smooth motion.
  4. Extend your hips to accelerate the bar upward.
  5. Finish the motion with your arms fully extended above your head.
