Shrug the shoulders.  Pull the DBs up the body with the elbows high and back and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time.  You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the DBs to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.

In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, belly tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high!  Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand.  Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the DBs back to the hips.

For the push press hold a dumbbell in each hand at the shoulders.  Feet are between hip and shoulder width apart. Chest up.  Belly tight.  Dip keeping the heels down and allowing the knees to come forward.  Reach the hips back slightly but keep the chest lifted.

For this version you should both be using a weight that you can absolutely do 6 and 6 without breaking but it will HURT!

Of course as always you can do the dumbbell option with the team version as well!

For the hang squat clean you will deadlift the bar to the hips with hands just outside the legs.  Your feet are between hip and shoulder width, heels down.  Stand tall.  Tighten the belly.  Arms straight.  Reach the hips back slightly and bend the knees to dip.  Keep the bar close and arms straight.  Stand up hard and fast! Shrug the shoulders.  Pull the bar up the body with the elbows high and outside and pull YOURSELF DOWN at the same time.  You will rotate the elbows around and through FAST to allow the bar to land on the shoulders in the bottom of the squat.

In this squat position heels are down, knees out, chest up, belly tight, butt lower than knees, no plopping or rounding, elbows high!  Drive through the heels and drive knees out to stand.  Lead with chest and elbows, stand fully to complete each rep. For the next rep you will lower the barbell back to the hips.

Set up for the push press with the bar on your shoulders and elbows high. Feet hip to shoulder width apart. Chest up, belly tight. Keep your heels down, let your knees track forward as you dip your hip.  Chest stays lifted. Stand up fast.  As the bar pops up off the shoulders, press straight up to lock out.

Finish standing tall, arms straight, biceps by the ears.  Squeeze your butt and keep your belly tight.

SQUAT CLEANS - For pregnant mamas with bellies that interrupt the most efficient path of the bar, be sure to sub DBs for the bar so you are not training incorrect movement patterns. Upright Rows and Goblet Squats is also a great all around modification for this!

PRESS - Focus on proper alignment of your pelvis and spine. If you find yourself over extending in your back or coning in your belly sub less weight, Strict Press, Seated Strict Press, or even Front Raises.
