How to perform it

  2. 02Unrack the bar in the front rack and complete the prescribed front squats with a firm brace.
  3. 03Return the bar fully to the rack before changing position; never pass a loaded bar over your head.

  5. 05Rerack the bar securely after the back-squat portion and reset before the next front-to-back round.
