From DoubleYourGains: “◾Foot stance – stance is slightly wider than shoulder width apart, similar to squat stance, bar should be over the middle of your feet
◾Bar position – Bar should be up against your shins, no further than 4 inches from them, your shoulder blades should be directly over the bar…
◾Grip width – Keep you width wide enough to clear your legs but not too wide, 20 inches is about right…
◾Gripping the bar – grip the bar closer to your fingers instead of your palm to minimize callouses and increase grip strength (see the picture below)…
◾Straight arms – – Keep your arms straight, flexing your triceps helps…
◾Chest up – Keep you chest up to keep your back straight and keep it from rounding…
◾Look up and ahead –keep your eyes slightly looking up (the picture below shows you the correct starting position)…
◾Knees –keep your knees almost straight, but not locked.
