Instructions

Place feet underneath the bar approximately 30cm apart, with your feet positioned so that the bar “cuts them in half” when viewed from above. Bend down and grasp the bar with hands positioned wider than shoulder width apart, so that your arms are quite wide apart. Roll the bar close to your shins and from this position with fairly straight legs (they don’t need to be locked out) pull the bar off the floor, up the legs with straight arms until the knees, hips and shoulders are locked out. Lower the bar to the floor, keeping your back straight and keeping your knees soft. Repeat.

Tip

The longer your arms, the wider your grip can be. In most cases, lifters will need to use straps to maintain grip in this lift.
