Snatch Balance

This one is a sharp bear move: pop the bar up, then dive under it like you spotted the last salmon. The snatch balance builds fast leg drive, strong overhead control, and confidence catching weight low and steady.

Instructions

1. Set the bar across your upper back with a wide grip.
2. Stand tall with feet about shoulder width apart.
3. Dip straight down a few inches.
4. Drive hard through your legs and punch the bar overhead.
5. Drop quickly into a squat under the bar.
6. Stand up with the bar locked out overhead.
