Step by step
- Set the safety pins in a rack at about knee height and load the bar to your working weight.
- Stand with feet hip-width apart, bar over mid-foot, and grip just outside the knees.
- Pull the slack out of the bar, brace the core, and pull the chest up tall with a flat back.
- Drive the floor away with your legs while keeping the bar dragging close to your thighs.
- Stand fully tall by squeezing the glutes and locking out the hips and knees together.
- Lower the bar back to the pins under control, reset your breath, and repeat for clean reps.
