How to do it

Coaching cues

  • Start with the barbell resting on your shoulders, with your feet shoulder-width apart.
  • Lower your body into a squat position, keeping your chest up and your knees tracking over your toes.
  • As you reach the bottom of the squat, explosively drive through your legs and push the barbell overhead.
  • As the barbell reaches its peak, quickly drop into a split position, with one foot forward and one foot back.
  • Catch the barbell overhead with your arms fully extended and your back knee slightly touching the ground.
  • Stand up from the split position, bringing your feet back together.
  • Lower the barbell back to your shoulders and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
