Step by step

Loop bands around the bar near the sleeves and anchor them to the bottom of the squat rack.
Step under the bar, position it on your upper traps, and unrack with feet shoulder-width apart.
Brace your core hard and squat down with control until your hip crease drops below your knees.
Drive explosively up through your heels, accelerating against the band tension as you stand.
Lock out at the top with hips fully extended, then reset your breath and brace before the next rep.
Complete 3 to 6 reps per set, prioritizing speed and bar control over pure load on the bar.

Log your sets. After a few weeks you will see whether it is moving. Free.
