Movement notes
- Begin with the feet in the pulling position, the bar racked across the back of the shoulders, and the hands placed in a wide snatch grip.
- Pop the bar with an abrupt dip and drive of the knees, and aggressively drive under the bar, transitioning the feet into the receiving position.
- Receive the bar locked out overhead near the bottom of the squat. The torso should remain vertical, lowering the hips between the legs.
- Continue to descend to full depth, and return to a standing position. Carefully lower the weight.
