Position: Stand, back straight, feet flat on the floor, head neutral/still. Grip always with fingers and thumb around the bar.
Breathing: Exhale when you exert at the start of the exercise and inhale when returning to start position.
Start/Movement/Finish: Hands are as wide as the thumb tips extended and touching would be. When spacing is created, close thumbs around bar. Bar hangs, touching the front of the thighs. Pull elbows up, so that the bar reaches just under the chin. Let the hands follow; they should never be above the elbows.
