STARTING POSITION: Go to the squat position and take a barbell with both hands a little larger than shoulder width. The thumbs are pointing inwards. The feet and knees are pointing in the same direction. The torso is slightly bent forwards so that the shoulders are just above the barbell. The back is neutral
MOVEMENT: Tighten the torso, exhale and stretch the legs. As soon as the barbell passes the knees you stretch the hip. With the thighs you thrust the barbell further upwards. The arms make a small outward pivoting movement so that the barbell lightly lands at shoulder height. The elbows are pointing forwards. Continue lowering to a deep squat position and then stretch the legs into stance. At the end of this upwards movement you stretch the arms above the head. The barbell moves vertically. The back remains neutral during the entire position.
