  • 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 and the knees.
  • Keep the barbell close to your thighs while lowering it to mid-shin level, then lift it back up to a standing position.

ProTip
