Squat Jerk

Description

Start with the bar on your chest, resting on the top of your shoulders. Quickly bend your legs to generate power, and immediately lower yourself into a squat position while propelling the bar above your head. Stabilize the position when the bar is locked in place, then straighten up to return to a standing position, with the bar still above your head. Keep your core engaged and the bar aligned throughout the movement.
