LEGS & SHOULDERS & ARMS (Intermediate/Advanced)

Put an empty bar onto a pair of support racks and load the required amount of resistance onto it. Stand behind the bar and take a grip just wider then shoulder width. Rotate your arms under the bar and up so that your elbows point forward and the bar rests on your anterior deltoids and clavicle bones. Take a 3/4 breath. Hold your head erect and tighten your spinal muscles raising the barbell up off the support racks. Step forward and plant your feet at hip width. Point your toes slightly out. Release and take another breath. Contract your deltoid muscles and take a short quarter squat dip while maintaining a strictly upright spine. Now explode upward pushing off the floor and driving the barbell up with your arms. At the top of your extension lock your knees and continue to push the bar overhead until your elbows lock. Center the bar behind your head in line with your ears.
