2. Push through your feet to lift the bar smoothly past your knees while maintaining a constant torso angle.
3. Explosively extend your hips, knees, and ankles once the bar reaches mid-thigh, shrugging your shoulders and pulling your elbows high and wide.
4. Allow the barbell to travel upward close to your body without catching it, then lower it back to the floor under control.
