How to do it
- Load the pins to an appropriate weight. Position yourself directly between the handles. Grasp the bottom handles with a comfortable grip, and then lower your hips as you take a breath. Look forward with your head and keep your chest up. This will be your starting position.
- Return the weight to the starting position.
Test it
This is one of the three lifts that get judged in competition, which means there is a real distribution to measure yourself against.
