knee level and is initiated

knee level and the power position and involves a shift in the position of the body relative to the barbell, which involves a brief period of
knee flexion and is therefore referred to as the double
knee bend (Enoka, 1979; 1988); (3) the second pull is the most powerful phase of the
lift and occurs while the barbell is between the power position and the
lifter is in triple extension; (4) turnover occurs as the
lifter quickly drops down under the bar from the triple extension position to the catch position, in a deep front squat; (5) recovery into the standing position occurs as the
lifter stands from the catch position to upright.
