How to do it

Compound variation that uses the step back to organize the hips better before the vertical push.

Form. Take a controlled step back, keep the front knee stable and press as you return to the top position.

Common mistake. Crossing the step back, leaning the torso, or using lower-back momentum to lift the bar.
