Start from a strong deadlift position (Ric is using a wider “sumo” stance) with torso upright, arms fully extended. The weight should pull your arms straight down, cutting out the slack. Initiate the movement with a powerful hip and knee extension. You should feel like you are jumping, but your heels are glued to the floor. Once the hip and knees are extended, shrug your shoulders and drive your elbows to the sky. At this point, the weight should be just at or higher than chest level. When executing this, think “explode out of the pocket.” Enjoy.
