Instructions

Place a weighted barbell at your feet. Keeping your knees soft/slightly bent, bend over at the waist so that your back is parallel to the floor. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, wider than shoulder width apart. Keeping your back straight and parallel to the ground, explosively pull the barbell up to your sternum, squeezing your shoulder blades together at the top of the movement. Lower the weight all the way down to the ground and repeat.

Tips

If you feel the need to lift your back during the lift, the weight is too heavy, or you are too fatigued. Lower the weight to maintain good form.
