The transition of the knees during the first pull is arguably one of the most difficult positions for the beginner to negotiate. This is largely because we are at a mechanical disadvantage hinging so far out over our base. Beginners with weaker hamstrings and lower backs won’t be able to take the pressure necessary to shove the knees out of the way and subsequently will either move the bar around their knees and/or start pulling the shoulders back behind the bar too soon.

Saturday FuBarbell club. Love these guys ❤️

Comparison of 4 power positions. The frames were captured right before the athletes started extending towards the finish at the top of their pull.

For the inevitable question of which is ideal? It will vary from coach to coach and athlete to athlete. Some will want to see varying degrees of shoulders over the bar to shoulders behind the bar along with the weight distribution biasing the front heel edge or going towards the base of the toes.
