HANG HIGH PULL

‘We do a specialised strongman clean, but you can use this basic move to develop power,’ says Hollands. Hold a bar at thigh height, then drive your hips forward and lift it to chest height explosively.

WIDE-GRIP BEHIND-THE-NECK PRESS

‘This mimics the movement without testing your balance so much,’ says Hollands. Hold a light bar behind your neck with a wide grip and press it overhead.
