Instructions

Place feet underneath the bar approximately 30cm apart, with your feet positioned so that the bar “cuts them in half” when viewed from above. Bend down and grasp the bar with hands positioned just outside of your legs. As you squat down your legs should come slightly forward as to have the bar touch your shins. Keep your arms straight, shoulders tight, head neutral and lower back engaged (maintaining a strong neutral spine). Pull the bar off the floor, up the legs with straight arms, pause just below the knees. Continue the movement up until your hips, knees and shoulders are locked out. Return the bar by bending your knees forward slightly and bringing your hips back and keeping your back in a strong (not rounded) position.
