Step to the bar and get positioned. Place your feet hip-width apart, with the bar directly over the balls of your feet. Set the bar right over the point where your toes meet the rest of your foot. Assume the starting position. Bend your knees, lower your hips and grip the bar with your hands.
Comfort is the key.
Drop the hips as though you were going to sit in a chair. Start the lift. Keep your back slightly arched and push your feet as though you were trying to push through the floor. As you lift off of the floor, you want your hips, shoulders and the bar to all come up together at the same rate. Keep the bar as close to your legs as possible as you raise the bar past your knees.
