Description

  • Start with the barbell held at the front of your thighs, hands placed hip-width apart.
  • Keeping your chest up and your back straight at all time, slowly bend at the hips as if to bow.
  • Allow the knees to bend only slightly (20 degrees), so that the greatest amount of bending occurs at the hips.
  • Keeping the barbell close to the thighs at all time, return to the standing position.

ProTip

  • Pivot only at the hips

Mistakes

  • Knees locked
  • Bending the knees too much
  • Rounding the back
