Want to find out if you’re a candidate for more trunk work?
Ask yourself these questions:
Bringing the bar into the hips is arguably one of the most difficult transition to make in weightlifting. This is the point where athletes will fall apart by either rushing the transition (bar contacting low on the thigh) or chasing the bar with their hips (keeping the bar out front). And yes, Kelly Starrett is about to PR his legendary mix grip clean at 158kg/347.5lbs.

The Olympic squat (aka high bar back squat) should closely mimic the receiving position found in the snatch — with the slight variance due to bar placement.
Key points of performance are:
1. Bar racks across the traps
2. Feet are rotated out 5-20 degrees
3. Hips are open to maintain stability of the hips and trunk
4. Range of motion is prioritized with a verticalized torso
5. The body sits down to the limits of ankle, knee and hip flexion
