1. Standing with feet about shoulder-width apart in the "jumping" position, hold the barbell in the "hang" position on your upper thighs. Hands should be wider than your shoulders.
2. Dip your knees to about a half squat and then complete a slight jump and drive,  snapping your feet back into the ground, to "snatch" the bar up over your head.
3. Note that the jump and lift happens in one swift movement with your arms locking out the barbell over your head.
4. Also, note that the when the bar is locked out overhead, you should squat slightly to receive the bar, your arms being slightly behind your head for balance.
