Coach's Tips

Lift from the floor and catch in a squat for a full-body power move

1. Place the barbell in the center of your feet and stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

2. Hinge at the hips to lower your upper body, grab the barbell, and lift your chest.

1. Strongly rise from the floor and pull the barbell close to your body.

2. Receive the barbell in front of your shoulders (front rack) while simultaneously performing a deep squat.

3. As you rise from the squat, straighten your upper body and stabilize the barbell.

Inhale while pulling from the floor, and exhale as you rise.

1. Since the movement is complex, practice with light weights and low repetitions.

2. Keep your back straight and ensure the barbell does not move away from your body.
