How to Perform
1
Begin kneeling on the floor with a barbell racked across the back of your shoulders, or you can use your body weight for this exercise. This can be done inside of a power rack to make unracking easier.
2
Sit back with your hips until your glutes touch your feet, keeping your head and chest up.
3
Explode up with your hips, generating enough power to land with your feet flat on the floor.
4
Continue with the squat by driving through your heels and extending the knees to come to a standing position.
