⚠️ Most common mistake: Yanking the bar with the arms early instead of driving the legs and hips first, which kills power. Catching the bar with low elbows, which collapses the rack position and stresses the wrists. Pressing the bar in front of the head instead of straight up, which strains the lower back and shoulders. Rounding the back on the pull from the floor, putting the spine in a weak and risky position.

💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Keskivartalo.
