The Barbell One Arm Snatch is a dynamic and explosive exercise that targets multiple muscle groups, including the shoulders, back, and legs. It is a great full-body exercise that can help improve strength, power, and coordination.
How to perform
To perform the Barbell One Arm Snatch, follow these step-by-step instructions:1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, with a barbell on the floor in front of you.
2. Squat down and grip the barbell with one hand, using an overhand grip. Your hand should be slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
3. Keep your chest up, back straight, and core engaged as you lift the barbell off the floor.
4. Explosively extend your hips and knees, while simultaneously pulling the barbell upwards with your arm. As the barbell reaches your chest level, drop underneath it by bending your knees and dipping your body down.
5. Catch the barbell overhead in a quarter squat position, with your arm fully extended and your elbow locked out.
6. Stand up to complete the lift, fully extending your hips and knees while keeping the barbell overhead.
7. Lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner, before repeating the movement for the desired number of repetitions.
It is important to start with a light weight and focus on mastering the technique before increasing the load. Additionally, make sure to warm up properly before performing this exercise and always use proper form to prevent injury.
