Make every rep count.
- 01
Start with the barbell over your shoelace knot—close to your shins without touching them.
- 02
Set your stance shoulder-width, toes slightly out. Grip the bar just outside shoulder width.
- 03
Drop your hips, lift your chest, brace your core, and keep your eyes forward with a neutral spine.
- 04
Begin the pull by pushing the floor away. Keep the bar tight to your body as your knees shift back to clear the bar.
- 05
Once the bar passes your knees, bring your knees back under you into a strong power position with your torso more upright.
- 06
Explode: jump straight up (don’t swing forward) and shrug hard, keeping the bar close.
- 07
As the bar rises, quickly whip your elbows through and up so they point forward.
- 08
Catch the bar on your shoulders in a solid front rack (elbows high, bar resting on the delts), standing tall with feet planted.
- 09
To reset: rotate elbows back down, guide the bar to the hip crease, then lower it under control to the floor.
- 10
Repeat for your prescribed reps, keeping every rep crisp and close to the body.
