Learning to transfer the bar from full extension to the Receiving Position [front squat] with just your upper body results from practicing the Muscle Clean.

• Pull elbows high, keeping the bar close to body
• Place bar on shoulders by rotating or “snapping” elbows from high, outside position to Receiving Position

Coaching Point: I always stress a high elbow position when catching a bar on the shoulders. A wrist injury can occur if you let your elbows fall and make contact with your thighs.
