Instructions

Stand with shoulder width or narrower stance on a 2″ to 5″ (5 to 10 cm) block. This could be made up with weight plates, to set the height. With your feet flat beneath the bar, bend over and grasp barbell with shoulder width or slightly wider overhand or mixed grip.With knees soft, lift bar by extending at hips until standing upright. Lower bar back to the ground by bending at the hips.Knees can stay soft throughout the whole movement. The key is to keep them straight enough to work predominately the hamstrings and the glutes.

Tip

Throughout the movement keep your arms and back straight, not allowing your lower back to round.
