Sots Press

How to do it

1. Take a snatch-width grip on the bar and set it across the back of your shoulders, below the traps.
2. Sit down into the bottom of an overhead-squat-depth squat, keeping your torso upright and chest tall.
3. Brace your trunk hard and squeeze your shoulder blades together; do not use any leg drive or bounce to help start the press.
4. Press the bar from behind the neck straight up to full lockout overhead, finishing with the bar over the midfoot.
5. Hold the locked-out overhead position briefly while staying tight in the bottom squat.
6. Lower the bar back behind the neck under control, without letting it drop or crash onto your shoulders.
