Explanation: In the gym, you know that one bar where the end collar is always loose? Take the collar off and load it up. Works great with bumpers or steel weights. Secure it with a clamp and you're ready to go.

1. Stand over the bundle, spliting the weight in half with your feet to find the Center of Gravity. 2. Reach down and grab the weight with a huge upper pectoral contraction, squeeze your hips and engage. 3. As the weight starts to come up, you can receive it in a front lapped position and extend OR take it from the ground all the way up into triple extension
