January 13, 2009
Starting Position
- Standing, holding bar in front squat position
Procedure
- Drop hips back and down into a quarter squat position and immediately explode back up through the starting position
- As the hips fully extend, push the bar overhead and drop underneath the bar, catching it overhead with arms straight and hips and knees slightly flexed
- Slowly lower the bar down to the starting position and repeat for prescribed number of repetitions
Coaching Keys
- Do not let knees slide forward or collapse to the inside when initiating the lift
- The power generated from the movement will cause the feet to leave the ground
- Catch the bar with good posture and hips back and down
- Do not let knees slide forward or collapse to the inside when initiating the lift
- Do not begin pushing the bar with your arms until the hips fully extend
