How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by standing in front of a barbell, feet shoulder width apart with an overhand grip position.

2.) Bring the barbell up to mid thigh position with a wide grip.

3.) Then pull up the barbell by driving up through your heels and raising the bar, quickly executing a second pull by extending through your hips and knees bringing the bar up as fast as possible.

4.) Continue to raise the bar up and overhead without re-bending your knees and hold for a count.

5.) Slowly return the bar back down to the starting position.

6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets desired.
