| Position your feet slightly inside shoulder width. Place your hands on the bar with a grip that is just outside the width of your hips. Keep your back flat and your shoulders over the bar in the bottom position. Lift the bar smoothly until the weight clears your knees. Accelerate your hips forward when the bar reaches mid thigh level. Shrug your shoulders and quickly drop under the bar to catch the weight. Keep the bar close to your body throughout the movement. Finish with your elbows high. This exercise is the key for power development and for transitioning the strenth your build in the weightroom onto the playing field! |
