  1. 1Feel your chest and front delt drive the bar up and across
  2. 2Keep a fixed slight bend in the elbow through the arc
  3. 3Squeeze across the chest as the bar reaches the top

Common mistakes

  • Don't twist the torso to swing the bar up
  • Avoid turning it into a press by straightening the elbow
