How to do it

Setup. Hold the weight against your chest with both hands, feet slightly wider than shoulders.

  1. Squat down between your knees, keeping the weight close.
  2. Let your elbows brush the inside of your knees at the bottom.
  3. Stand up tall.

Most common mistake

Letting the weight drift away from your chest.

Coach's tip

Pause for one second at the bottom to build control.
