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.
