Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Grab the barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing upward) at about shoulder-width apart. Lift the bar until it is positioned in front of your shoulders and your elbows flare out to the sides. This is your starting position. Slowly flex your knees without moving the hips backwards. Lower yourself only slightly. Inhale during this movement. Push upwards as powerfully as possible. Drive through the heels, creating as much speed and force as possible. Push the barbell straight up over your head. Exhale during this movement. Return to the starting position. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
