Step-by-step instructions
- 01Take the barbell from a rack into your normal jerk rack position and stand with your feet in the jerk drive stance.
- 02Brace as you would for a jerk, keep the torso upright, and maintain even pressure across both whole feet.
- 03Bend the knees and let the hips travel straight down through the same shallow range as your jerk dip, moving slowly enough to maintain continuous leg tension.
- 04Reverse direction under control at the bottom without shifting onto the toes, sending the hips backward, or letting the chest and elbows drop.
- 05Stand naturally back to full extension with the bar still on the shoulders; do not accelerate, press, or attempt to drive the bar upward.
