Look for the feeling of pushing the ground away, and all the time with intra-abdominal pressure and the bar close to the body.

Performance
Time needed: 1 minute.
- Find a starting position
Stand shoulder-wide so you can hold the bar with your arms hanging straight down and outside your knees.
Squeeze the shoulders together to increase stability.
The underside of the shoes / feet should touch the floor throughout the lift to increase stability. - Grab the bar
The most common is reversed grip
- Breath in and hold the breath
One deep breath to create intra-abdominal pressure which gives the back support.
- Pull the bar
Up to a stand up position with the bar hanging towards the thighs.
- Stop and/or turn
One or two second stop creates a higher load in the critical stop, you might need to lower the weights compared to turning up directly.
- Lower the bar
Squeeze the air out between your lips meanwhile.
