A common fault amongst many beginners is using their backs to lift the bar into their hips during the 1st pull. This brings the back into play too soon and diminishes it’s helpfulness in the finish of the 2nd pull. Instead, focus should be on the legs pushing the platform away to elevate the barbell preserving the use of the back for the explosive final extension.
A few line of thoughts to help maintain this movement sequence are:
1. Stay covered over the bar.
2. Keep the sternum over the bar as long as possible.
3. Chest up; push the floor away.
