Instructions

  1. 1Set into the blocks and check that hips sit slightly above shoulder height.
  2. 2Have a partner check that both knee angles allow full extension into the drive.
  3. 3Adjust block spacing if the hips sit too high (piked) or too low (front-loaded).

What to focus on

A set position that balances power in both legs at the gun.

Common mistake

Hips too high or too low, robbing one leg of its drive angle.
