Instructions:
- 1Stand on a raised platform or 2-4 inch deficit with feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointed outward.
- 2Bend at your knees and hips to grip the barbell. Keep your hips back, with your chest up.
- 3By pushing through your heels, lift the bar until your hips and knees are locked.
- 4Hold at the top for a moment, then return the weight to the ground in a controlled manner.
- 5Repeat the movements for the desired number of reps.
Tips:
- Your back should remain flat throughout the entire movement to avoid injury.
- Avoid lifting with your lower back. The lift should be driven by your legs and hips.
- Practice lifting with a lighter weight to make sure your form is correct.
- Control the movement both when lifting and lowering the barbell to prevent injury.
