Coach's Tips

This power move hits your shoulders, upper traps, and upper back all at once.

1. Place the barbell in front of your thighs and grip it with an overhand grip.

2. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees, and keep your upper body straight.

1. Use the strength of your shoulders, arms, and lower body to pull the bar close to your body.

2. Raise it to chest to collarbone height, making sure your elbows are higher than your hands.

3. Slowly lower it back to the starting position.

Exhale when you lift the bar, and inhale when you lower it.

1. Do not arch your back or round your back; keep your core tight.

2. Do not pull as if diving with too heavy a weight; maintain an upright upper body position.
