Start with a flat back. You won’t lift as much as with a round back, but it will stop injuries. Keep your bum down, look up and keep your chest up. That’s your start position.

Then you have to get the bar past the knees. Keep you shoulders over the bar all the way through the lift, so you don’t sit back on your heels.

The next key position is fully extended at the top of the pull. You are moving as fast as you can, you’ve accelerated hard, your arms are still straight but your shoulders are up and you are up on your toes. That’s the top, where you get the speed on the bar. Then comes the receiving position. This is like a front squat position. Catch the bar on your shoulders, then stand up.
