Technique

  1. Support: arms straight, bar at the hips, shoulders pressed down, slight lean.
  2. Lower until the bar touches the lower ribs, elbows narrow and back.
  3. Press to full lockout without leaning away.

Common mistakes

  • Elbows flaring out: overloads the shoulders.
  • Incomplete lockout at the top.
