The barbell Power snatch workout primarily targets the Quads, Glutes, and Shoulders.

This exercise involves lifting the barbell from the ground to overhead in one explosive movement.

While other muscles are involved, the focus remains on the primary muscle groups for maximum effectiveness.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward. Place a barbell on the ground in front of you, with your hands shoulder-width apart and palms facing down.
Bend your knees and lower your hips, keeping your back straight and chest lifted. Grip the barbell with an overhand grip.
With your arms fully extended, explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles, pulling the barbell upward. As the barbell rises, keep it close to your body and quickly transition from a pulling motion to a pushing motion.
As the barbell reaches its highest point, quickly drop into a partial squat position and rotate your elbows around and under the barbell. Catch the barbell overhead with your arms fully extended and knees slightly bent.
Stand up, extending your hips, knees, and ankles, while keeping the barbell overhead. Maintain a straight back and tight core throughout the movement.
Lower the barbell back to the starting position by reversing the movements. Bend your knees and hips, keeping the barbell close to your body, until it reaches the ground.

Start with a wide grip on the barbell, ensuring your hands are outside of your hips.
Initiate the movement by driving through your legs, engaging your quads and glutes.
As the barbell reaches your knees, explosively extend your hips and shrug your shoulders.
Pull yourself under the barbell by aggressively pulling it upwards and rotating your elbows high and outside.
Receive the barbell in an overhead squat position, ensuring your arms are locked out and your shoulders are active.
Finish the movement by standing up, keeping your core tight and maintaining a neutral spine.
