How to perform

Start with the barbell across your front shoulders, keeping your elbows high. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, then powerfully press the weight upwards using leg drive. Extend your arms and legs completely at the peak of the movement before reversing to the initial position.

Muscles Worked

Front delt

Secondary: Quads, Glutes, Back, Triceps, Side delt

Tips

Focus on proper form rather than lifting heavy weight. Bend your knees to help maintain an upright torso throughout the exercise. Use a grip that’s about shoulder-width apart for increased stability.
