Start with the barbell resting on the floor. Squat down, thread your arms under the bar, and cradle it in the crooks of your elbows with hands clasped. Brace hard, keep your chest up, and stand to full extension. Lower under control.

The bar starts at a dead stop on the floor and must be held in the crooks of the elbows — no hands under the bar. Full lockout at the top, hips and knees extended, standing tall. A bar pad or towel is permitted. Score is your heaviest successful lift.
