How to do it
- 1Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell on the floor in front of you.
- 2Bend your knees and hinge at the hips to lower down and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
- 3Drive through your heels and extend your hips and knees to lift the barbell off the floor, keeping it close to your body.
- 4As the barbell reaches your thighs, explosively extend your hips, shrug your shoulders, and pull the barbell up towards your chest.
- 5As the barbell reaches chest height, quickly drop under it and catch it at shoulder level, with your elbows pointing forward and your palms facing up.
- 6From the catch position, press the barbell overhead by extending your arms and pushing the barbell straight up.
- 7Lower the barbell back down to the starting position and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
