Let’s take this back to the basics and remember our set up and execution points…

SETUP:

• Stance = shoulder width, toes slightly pointed outward

• Full extension at hips and knees (standing up straight)

• Bar held overhead, in the frontal plane, with a wide grip (snatch grip)

• Active shoulders (shrug and have arm pits pointing forward)

• Elbows locked (THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE MOVEMENT!)

EXECUTION:

• Weight on heels

• Lumbar curve maintained

• Chest up

• Maintain constant upward pressure on the bar, and active shoulders, to support the load (imagine you’re pressing the bar up the whole time)

• Bar remains in the frontal plane or slightly behind (if bar goes forward, gravity works and you’ll lose it)

• Butt travels back and down (in case you missed that, BUTT TRAVELS BACK AND DOWN)

• Bottom of squat is below parallel (hip crease is below the top of the kneecap)

• Knees track parallel to feet (knees should not cave in)

• Head position is neutral (don’t look up or down)

• Return to full extension at the hips and knees to complete the move (rep doesn’t end until you are standing fully upright)

5 reps @ 75%   of 1RM

3 reps @ 85%

1+ @ 95%

Remember, 1+ means do one rep, then go until you can’t go!
