How to do it

  1. 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.
  2. Bend your knees and hips to sit down between your heels, chest up, until your thighs are at least level with the floor.
  3. Stop at the bottom and hold still for the count your coach set. Stay tight: do not relax or bounce.
  4. Drive up to standing, keeping the bar over the middle of your foot.
