• From below-knee position, bend knees only, lowering bar until weight plates touch ground
• Bar should be at mid-shin level
• From floor, extend legs by moving chest and hips at same speed. Keep back angle constant
• Keep bar close to body at all times, but do not let it scrape shins
• Once bar is at Hang Position, move through rest of positions and catch bar in Receiving Position
Coaching Point: Do not jerk the bar off the floor. Squeeze it off the floor to the below-knee position, then accelerate. This should be one complete, smooth lift without any pauses during any position.
