Stand with feet hip-width apart, barbell over mid-foot. Hinge at the hips, grip the bar just outside your legs. Brace your core, take a breath, and drive through the floor to stand tall. Lock out at the top with hips and knees fully extended. Lower under control.

Starting position must be a dead stop on the floor. Full lockout required at the top — hips and knees fully extended, standing tall. No hitching (using thighs as a ramp). Standard or sumo stance allowed. Any grip allowed. Belt and straps permitted.
