How to perform

Start standing with feet shoulder-width apart and a barbell on the floor. Using an overhand grip slightly wider than shoulder-width, lift the bar to your thighs, keeping your back straight. Drive the bar upwards forcefully towards your chest and chin before returning it to the thighs.

Muscles Worked

Quadriceps
Secondary: Abdominals, Shoulders

Tips

Use lighter weights to emphasize speed and power. Move the barbell upward in one continuous, fluid motion. Begin with a slightly lower hip position and a more upright posture to activate your quads. Focus on the upward pull to avoid a deadlift motion. Maintain a consistent bar path throughout the exercise.
