This exercise is a very valuable power builder.
The bar is taken from the stands and then jerked to arm's length overhead by dipping at the knees and hips to catch the weight. The lifter does not move his feet.
A variation of this is to power clean and power jerk the bar, instead of taking the bar from the stands.
