Execution (step by step)

1

Bar rests on the ground. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, torso horizontal.

2

Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width, overhand grip.

3

Pull the bar explosively to the bottom of your chest -- elbows wide.

4

Lower the bar completely back to the ground on every repetition.

5

Torso stays horizontal throughout the entire set -- no body swinging.

6

The full stop on the ground ensures pure strength without elastic rebound.
