Setup
Bar on the upper back, hands where the shoulders allow. Brace before you unrack, not after.
Coaching cue
Brace before you unrack. Depth consistent every rep — don't chase lower on light sets and cut it on heavy ones.
Most common mistake
Depth changing with the load: deep on warm-ups, short when it gets heavy. Pick a depth you can hit on your top set and use it on every set.
