How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Set the bar on the upper traps with a snatch grip, start with the feet in your driving stance, and brace the trunk before the dip.
  2. 02Make a short, straight dip and drive the bar just high enough to unload it from the back while you begin pushing yourself under it.
  3. 03Move the feet out to the squat stance and punch the arms to lockout as the bar rises only slightly from the traps.
  4. 04Receive the bar in a deep overhead squat with active shoulders, the chest up, and the bar stacked over the middle of the foot.
  5. 05Stabilize in the bottom, stand all the way up under control, and lower the bar carefully back to the upper traps before resetting.
