Setting the back into absolute extension before lift off is important for a good connection between the platform and the bar. Think of it this way. If your hips are the generator, then your trunk is your transmission. Any slack in your system will result in energy (read power) being redirected to stabilize this slack.

The body likes to follow the path of least resistance. Don’t believe me? Stand tall, keep your shins ram rod vertical and bend over by pushing your hips back like you are trying to touch a wall behind you. If you did this correctly, you should feel an overwhelming tightness, aka stretch, in your hamstrings. Now stay there. It gets expensive after a while doesn’t it? Imagine now if you had a barbell loaded with “insert BIG number here” and still had to maintain this position. Got the point?
