Wide stance, explosive pull. One powerful move from floor to chin.
Finish the hip extension first, then pull. Don't yank with the arms early.
This move takes the wide-stance pull and adds speed, the hamstrings and glutes fire explosively to launch the bar off the floor, and the momentum from that hip extension is what carries it up to chest height. The arm pull at the top is steering, not the engine, if the hips do their job the bar is already flying. It suits conditioning circuits and power work where you want the whole posterior chain producing force fast.
You are pulling with the arms too early, which turns an explosive hip movement into an awkward upright row. Finish the hip snap completely first, the elbows only come up to guide a bar that is already moving.
Light enough to be fast. This is a power and conditioning movement, if the bar crawls up to your chest the weight is wrong. Most people do best with loads they can accelerate crisply for sets of 5 to 10.
It gets that reputation when people grind heavy weights up with a slow arm pull. Keep it light and explosive, let the hips do the lifting, and do not force chest height on reps where the momentum is not there.
