How to perform

Unrack the bar, extending legs and rotating to unlock. Descend by bending hips and knees, keeping your torso upright and elbows tucked. Lower until thighs are parallel to the floor, knees tracking over toes. Drive through your heels to extend hips and knees, exhaling as you return to the starting position without locking your knees. Rerack the bar by rotating it into the safeties.
