Instructions:
- 1Stand tall while holding the barbell at your thigh level with shoulder-width apart
- 2Lower the barbell towards the floor while keeping your back straight and bending at your hips
- 3Stop when you feel a stretch in your hamstring, then stand back up by squeezing your glutes
- 4Keep your knees slightly bent during the whole movement yet remain mostly straight
- 5Do not let the barbell go beyond your second toe while lowering down
Tips:
- Keep your chest up and shoulder blades back during the entire movement
- To avoid straining your lower back, do not round your back
- Ensure your hips, not your knees, are driving the movement
- Always keep the barbell close to your body
