Instructions

This movement resembles bowing to someone to say "goodmorning". Position bar on the back of your shoulders and grasp the bar on the sides. Keeping your knees slightly bent and your back straight, bend the hips back to lower your torso until it is parallel to the floor. Reverse the movement up until your hips are extended.

Tips

Full range of motion will vary for people, depending on your flexibility. Some people may not be able to come to a parallel position. Do not lower the weight beyond a slight stretch in your hamstrings.
