How to do it
- Set the bar across the back of your shoulders, just below the neck, and step back from the rack with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes turned slightly out.
- Bend your knees and hips to sit down between your heels, chest up, until your thighs are at least level with the floor.
- Stop at the bottom and hold still for the count your coach set. Stay tight: do not relax or bounce.
- Drive up to standing, keeping the bar over the middle of your foot.
