· Stand with feet shoulder-width apart in front of weighted bar on floor
· Place hands on bar slightly outside shoulder-width, keeping abs tight and shoulders slightly retracted
· Raise bar using deadlift technique and rest it comfortably against thighs
· Lower bar quickly to just above knee level by pushing glutes back; then jump, fully extending hips, knees and ankles
· Forcefully shrug shoulders, keeping chest up

Sets / Reps / Rest Time: 3 / 5 / 2-3 minutes
Variation: Begin exercise with bar on rack, two to three inches above knees

Gib’s Tips: Elevate the bar as high as possible without bending your elbows // Keep the bar close to your body and maintain a neutral position with your head throughout the movement // Accelerate from the start position into triple extension as quickly as possible // Use your legs when picking up the bar
