How to do it

Setup

Bar's end held at the chest in both hands, feet shoulder-width, facing the pivot.

Steps

  1. Squat deep with the end at the chest.
  2. Drive up and press it along the bar's arc.
  3. Return to the chest on the descent.

Common mistakes

Standing too far from the pivot: the arc turns into a front raise; step in. Pressing before standing: the legs finish first. Rounding under the load: chest tall against the bar.

Breathing

Inhale down, exhale through the press.
