Schexnayder gives his jumpers the option of starting with the bar in three possible positions: thefloor, just below the knee or on the thigh above the knee. However, the technique is the same for each variation.

Begin with the bar at the designated starting position with the shoulders over the toes. Set your grip about shoulder width. Using an upward motion, fire the hips, knees and ankles rapidly while pushing through the ground. Continue the upward motion with a shrug of the shoulder girdle followed with a rapid pull of the arms. Drop into a slightly squatted position under the bar. Bring the elbows around the bar catching it across the collarbone.
