FitCi
Step-by-step
- Hold the bar or dumbbells in the front rack position, feet shoulder-width apart.
- Keeping your chest open and back flat, push your hips back and squat down (thighs parallel to the floor).
- Drive powerfully through your heels to stand up.
- Using the momentum from standing, press the weight overhead in the same motion with your arms locked out.
- Lower the weight back to the shoulder position under control and drop into a squat for the next rep.
Coaching tip
Use the momentum from driving out of the squat to press the weight overhead.
