Instructions
- 1Set the bar up at around armpit height, and grip it evenly, slightly outside shoulder-width level.
- 2Tuck yourself under the bar and position it on your lower traps, around the level of your rear deltoids.
- 3Extend your upper back and press the bar against it with both hands. Keep your wrist straight and don't rest the bar on your hands.
- 4With your feet hip-width apart and firmly planted on the ground, push your hips forward and unrack the bar. Take a few steps back to clear enough space for the lift.
- 5With the bar firmly pressed against your upper back and your feet planted into the ground, inhale and push your hips straight back.
- 6As you lean forward, keep your back in a neutral position and think about pushing your butt back.
- 7Lean your torso forward as much as possible while keeping your back straight. You should feel an intense stretch in your posterior chain muscles. Allow for a slight bend in your knees at the bottom.
- 8Initiate the upward movement by pushing your hips forward and stand upright. Exhale at the top.
