  • Start with your shins touching the bar
  • Grip the bar just outside an athletic stance
  • Get down into a deadlift position with your back locked, shoulders up and abs and chest flexed
  • Begin the initial pull by extending your hips and knees
  • Move into the second pull when the bar is just above your knees
  • Explode by forcefully shrugging and fully extending hips, knees and ankles
  • Pull the bar up keeping it close to your chest
  • Drop under the bar and catch it along the front of your shoulders in an athletic stance with knees bent

Coaching Point: Coordinate the two movements to produce a single explosive pull.
