- Standing facing safety barbell on rack upper chest height
and calf block on floor just below. Position heels on forward
edge of calf block. Place hands on bar to each sides or on vertical
rack bars. Position head in yoke with padded bar around shoulders.
Dismount bar from rack by standing erect with safety bar, away
yet close to rack.

should be positioned so safety bar is close to but does not make
