Instructions:
- 1Stand near a barbell and spread your arms wide, each hand gripping each corner of the barbell
- 2Keeping your back straight, bend your hips and knees to lift the barbell
- 3Once your legs are straight, push your hips forward to stand upright
- 4Lower the barbell back down to the ground by bending at the hips and knees
- 5Practice this motion with lighter weights first to engage all the muscles
Tips:

- Always lift with your legs, not your lower back
- Try to keep the barbell level while lifting and lowering
- Remember to breathe; inhale when you lift, exhale when you lower
