- Stand with shoulder width or narrower stance with feet flat
beneath bar. Grasp bar with shoulder width or slightly wider
mixed grip or slightly wider. Disengage bar by rotating bar back.
Execution
- Squat down to lower bar by bending knees forward slightly
while allowing hips to bend back behind, keeping back straight
and knees pointed same direction as feet. Lift bar by extending
hips and knees to full extension. Pull shoulders back at top
of lift if rounded. Return and repeat.

straight. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout
movement. Keep bar close to body to improve mechanical leverage.
