"Get your ass under the bar"

Pull higher, probably the most horrendous cue in weightlifting. The idea that all you have to do is pull higher and you’ll make the lift is like telling someone at the bottom of a squat to “stand up”.

Pull through. Pull back. Pull under. Don’t pull higher. Pull yourself into position, pull the bar back behind your head. The second that bar makes contact with your body it’s up to you to put yourself and the bar in proper position.

Don’t just pull the bar up, and hope to get under it. No “pull and pray”. Always connected to the bar, never free falling.All you should hear is two thuds. The bar making contact and then your feet landing. BLAP BLAP.

Back, back, through. And fucking get under it.
