This variation challenges your form and explosiveness from a deeper hinge position. It’s ideal for building total-body power.
Instructions
- Stand with the barbell just below your knees, feet hip-width apart, back flat, and arms straight.
- Explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles while pulling the bar upward.
- Shrug your shoulders and pull yourself under the bar to catch it in a front squat position.
- Stabilize and stand tall to complete the lift. Reset between reps.
