00:46Stay tight.
00:47Grip the bar just outside shoulder width.
00:50Keep your wrists straight and strong.
00:53Don't let them bend back.
00:55As you begin the movement, lower the bar slowly with full control.
01:00Keep your elbows slightly tucked in.
01:03Bring the bar down to your mid-chest and pause briefly.
01:07Don't bounce it.
01:08This is where real strength is built.
01:11Now drive the bar up with power.
01:14Push explosively while keeping your elbows at about a 45-degree angle.
01:19At the top, lock out with control.
01:23Stay balanced and keep your form tight.
01:26Avoid this mistake.
