How to perform it
Step-by-step instructions
- 01Set the rack's safety pins at a hinge depth you can control and place the bar securely across the pins.
- 02Step under the bar, position it across your upper back, set your feet about hip-width apart, and brace before taking the load from the dead stop.
- 03Keep your spine neutral and drive your hips forward until you are standing tall with the bar balanced over your midfoot.
- 04Push your hips backward to hinge under control, keeping your knees slightly bent until the bar contacts both pins evenly.
- 05Let the bar settle fully on the pins, rebuild your brace without bouncing, and repeat from a dead stop.
