How to do it
- 01
Stand with the barbell racked at your shoulders, hands just outside shoulder width, elbows slightly in front of the bar, feet hip-width apart.
- 02
Dip by bending the knees a few inches, keeping your torso upright, then drive up hard through the legs and press the bar overhead in one motion as the leg drive transfers to the bar.
- 03
Lock the bar out overhead with your head through the arms, then lower it back to the shoulders under control before the next rep.
