1 of 4
Bar on the front of your shoulders
Starting position
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, hold the bar across the front of your shoulders and grip it just outside them.
The movement
Bend your knees and hips slightly, drive your legs up and press the bar overhead, then lower it to your shoulders.
Most common mistake
Don't squat deeply or lean forward, keep your torso upright and use a short dip.
