How to perform

Begin with your feet under your hips. Hinge at the hips and grip the bar in line with your shoulders with your palms facing towards you. Maintain a flat back and lifted chest with your core engaged. Pull the bar explosively off the floor so it almost touches the shins. Snap the hips forward and powerfully pull the bar directly upwards by shrugging the shoulders, so the bar travels close to your body into the front rack position with the elbows lifted. From the front rack position, slightly bend the knees and drive through the heels so the bar travels into the overhead position with the arms straight. Reverse the movement down to the floor.

Tips

Keep weight on your heels, don’t shift forward. Maintain a straight upper back, no rounding. Grip slightly wider than shoulders (about 2 inches).
