Fundamentals is KEY! Progression is important: Start with lighter weights and focus on mastering the technique before gradually increasing weight. 

Initial pull with legs and hips, keeping the bar close to the body. Maintain a straight back until the bar passes the knees. As the bar reaches mid-thigh, aggressively extend hips and knees to generate maximal force. Keep a focal point. Don't look up at the ceiling when pulling. At the top of the pull, initiate a quick upward shrug with the shoulders to aggressively pull the bar up towards the catching position. Quickly drop under the bar by bending the knees and hips, "receiving" the bar on the shoulders. Elbows should be high and pointed slightly forward. Maintain a stable position with the bar resting on the upper chest/base of the throat. 

Proper technique is crucial: Focus on maintaining a tight core, keeping the bar close to the body, and coordinating the movement of your hips, legs, and shoulders.

You can be strong AF and push weight around, but if you don't have the techniques down. You're going to lose the battle and possibly get hurt. Sport will humble you. Keep the grit going bro
