i Instructions

  1. 1. Starting position: Place the barbell on blocks at knee height or slightly above. Take an overhand or hook grip, feet hip-width apart, back straight, chest up, eyes forward.
  2. 2. Execution: Perform a dynamic extension of the hips and knees, keeping the bar close to the body. At full extension, perform an aggressive shrug followed by quickly pulling yourself under the bar, catching it on your front deltoids in a power position.
  3. 3. Breathing and safety: Inhale before starting the pull, hold your breath during the explosive phase, and exhale once the weight is racked on your shoulders. Keep your core braced throughout the lift.
