Lower Body Power
Primary Muscle Groups – Glutes, Hamstrings, Quadriceps
Secondary Muscle Groups – Traps
Preparation:
The Marine will step up to the bar so their toes are under the bar and the feet hip width apart. They will squat down so the hips are lower than the shoulders and the back is flat. The Marine will grasp the bar with an overhand grip slightly wider then shoulder width and outside of the knees.
Execution:
The Marine will lift the bar off the ground by forcefully extending the hips and knees without letting the hips rise faster than the shoulders. As the bar raises just above the knee the Marine will push the hips slightly forward and flex the knees to move the thighs against, and the knees under, the bar also known as the “Scoop”. From this position they will continue to forcefully extend the hips, knees, and ankles. At the top of the motion they will shrug their shoulders followed by bending their elbows to keep the bar traveling up and close to the body.
Common Mistakes:- Letting hips come up first
- Rounding the back
-Pulling with the arms early
