| Aug 25, 2020 at 15:58 | comment | added | C. Lange | RoundHouse, if your end position looks like Alan's then there is no extra step: that's the end of the rep. If you finish with your shoulders hunched forward, then you need to bring them to neutral. You shouldn't aim to finish the rep with shoulders forward and then roll back, your goal should be to finish with them in the neutral position. The lifter in Mark's video seems to forget this each time and it makes it look like an extra step. If done smoothly, you shouldn't notice. I also think they're exaggerating the steps a bit for the teaching aspect. | |
| Aug 25, 2020 at 7:09 | comment | added | Dave Liepmann | "Mark [Rippetoe] is saying to have the shoulders farther back like in the second" – I don't agree. There are four pics: leaning back, overextending, shrugging, neutral. Rippetoe is saying to avoid the unpictured forward hunch, which requires moving the shoulders back to neutral. Ideally the shoulders were there the whole time. When working very close to maximum, that may not be possible, so some shoulder movement at the top is necessary to complete thoracic extension. | |

And it is that final position that Rippetoe describes as having the chest ‘lifted’. | |

| Aug 24, 2020 at 21:23 | comment | added | RoundHouse | @C.Lange Thanks for the comment. My lockout position looks like that of Alan's, but then when I try to roll it back it hurts. Is the extra step supposed to be done after the lockout? I mean is Mark saying we should first pull the bar up with forward shoulders and then roll back shoulders? | |
