Barbell High Pull
Stand with feet hip-width apart, grip the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width, and keep your back straight. Drive through your legs, extending your hips, knees, and ankles explosively while pulling the barbell upward. As the bar rises, pull it close to your body, leading with your elbows until it reaches chest level.
