- Stand with feet hip-width apart, barbell over midfoot. Grip the bar wide (outside shoulders), hook grip recommended.
- Keep chest up, back straight, and drive through heels to lift the bar off the ground, keeping it close to your body.
- As the bar reaches mid-thigh, explode upwards by extending hips, knees, and ankles, shrugging shoulders and pulling the bar high.
- Drop under the bar slightly, catching it overhead with arms locked out. Stand up fully to complete the lift.
