How to do it
- Prepare your barbell and stand in front of it.
- Position your feet underneath the barbell. As you look down, it should seem like the barbell is cutting your feet in half.
- Have your feet at hip-width distance and toes pointing slightly out.
- Bend down and grab the barbell with an even overhand grip. Maintain a slight bend in your knees.
- Squeeze your shoulder blades to bring your chest out and straighten your back.
- Engage your abs and take a breath.
- Pull the barbell in a straight vertical line.
- Lift the weight and drive your hips forward at the top. Don’t hyperextend your lower back as you finish the repetition.
