Instructions

1Have the barbell in a front rack position: your hands outside shoulder-width level with a full grip on the bar as it sits atop your shoulders.
2Position your feet at roughly hip-width level with your toes pointed slightly out.
3Take a deep breath and initiate the dip phase by bending your knees and hips as you keep your torso upright.
4As you dip a few inches, change the direction by pushing through your heels to extend your knees and hips.
5Use your lower body’s momentum to push through your torso and lift the bar off your shoulders.
6Right away push through your elbows to extend the bar overhead, exhaling at the top.
7Lower with control the barbell to the initial position, resting atop your shoulders as you inhale.
