@CT: Assumimg proper set up, loose arms, lats engaged pulling toward thigh, shoulder blades together, tight grip, do you focus on pushing your heals through the floor pretending to move the floor from you or pushing your hips forward like a kettle bell swing? Thank you for your time & answer.

For me the key thought is to try to throw the chest toward the ceiling as fast as I can. For some people driving the heels hard might be a good cue, really each person has his own cue that allows them to do the movement efficiently.
You know in an explosive movement you can only have ONE focus point otherwise youāll lose speed.
Thank you awesome answer & Iām just about to start I will try that!
I just had the best high pull session ever since focusing on getting my chest toward the ceiling as fast as humanly possibleā¦thank you again CT! Do you use this cue with Dead-Squat Launch too?

Yes, any explosive pulls as well as olympic lifts
I will definitely keep this cue in mind for the next high pull session I have. Thanks CT.
Also, is it possible to do the high pulls where the first rep is from the blocks, and the other reps are from the hang. The reps from the hang feel ābetterā to me, or should I concentrate and focus on really nailing down the reps from the block?

Of course, thatās how I do most sets of 3-5 reps. I actually feel that the ālowering/catchā in the hang is one of the most powerful way to stimulate traps growth.

this is SO true. you can only work on one aspect at a time, otherwise you get scrambled eggs for brainsā¦ lol
Thank you do much CT! I canāt wait to try that cue on the dead-squat launchā¦I love the exercise & my physique is changing so fast! I love it!
