Instructions

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, and the bar rests directly on your shins. Bend at the waist and hold the bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip.
  2. Keep your core tight as you explode, and raise the bar as high as you can. From the top of the movement, slowly lower the bar back to the starting position.

Tips

  • Do not round your back during exercise to avoid injury. Instead, keep your chest up and tighten your core throughout the exercise.
  • Most of the power should come from your hips. Avoid using your upper body to muscle the weight up.
