Instructions
Preparation
- Position bar on back of shoulders. Release bar and grasp bar to sides.
Execution
- Bend hips to lower torso forward until parallel to the floor. Bend the knees slightly during the decent. Raise torso until hips are extended. Repeat.

- Begin with light weight and add additional weight gradually to allow adequate adaptation. Throughout lift keep back straight. Knees will have to bend more with those with less hamstring flexibility. Knees can be kept bent throughout movement.
