Under the Bar
Your Footwork Under the Bar Is a Mess
The fault
Feet that land inconsistently, late, or in the wrong place.
Why it happens
Footwork is the last thing that happens and the first thing people blame. Usually it is the simplest thing in the lift to correct once you actually drill it instead of hoping it sorts itself out.
The fix
A simple, effective drill for moving the feet from the pulling stance to the receiving stance. Short video, and the one to start with if your feet are the problem.
