This is a skill-focused Olympic weightlifting drill for FitnessTracker users working on precision. It builds control during the jerk and helps prevent common errors in foot placement.
Instructions
- Start with a light barbell in the front rack position, standing tall with a slight staggered stance.
- Dip your knees slightly and drive the bar upward using your legs (not arms) while keeping your torso vertical.
- As the bar rises, move your front foot into a full split position under the bar while keeping your back foot stationary.
- Catch the bar overhead with your arms fully extended and your torso stable.
- Stand up with control to finish the lift, then return the bar to the starting position.
