Press Under
A drill: push yourself down under the bar as you press it up, teaching the speed of the turnover.
How to do it
Setup
LIGHT bar racked at the shoulders, snatch or clean grip.
Steps
- Press the bar while pushing YOURSELF down under it.
- Arrive locked out in a partial squat.
- Stand; the bar barely rises – you descend.
Common mistakes
Loading it like a press: this is a mobility-speed DRILL; empty bar first. Pressing without descending: the point is the push-under. Lockout arriving late: locked the instant you stop.
Breathing
Exhale on the push-under.
