  • 3Once the bar passes your knees, extend your hips and shrug your shoulders
  • 4Return the barbell to the floor in a controlled manner
  • 5Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions

Tips:

  • Ensure your back is straight and core is tight throughout the movement

  • Focus on using your lower body muscles to generate power
  • In the power position, make sure to extend your hips and shrug your shoulders, not pull with your arms
