Preparation:
The Marine will execute a proper squat and grasp the end of the bar. They will stand up with the bar held at the center of the chest.
Execution:
The Marine will squat down keeping their back and feet flat on the deck. From the bottom of the movement the Marine will stand up with as much force as they can and extend the bar overhead until the body is in a straight line. The Marine should be using their lower body to get the bar overhead, not pressing the bar to lockout. The Marine will lower the bar back to chest level under control.
Common Mistakes: - Dropping the chest
- Pressing the bar overhead, not using the hips
- Not getting the body in a straight line
