SETUP: Bar on Floor. Stand with feet between hip width and shoulder width with weight in the heels. Address the bar with good lumbar curve, shins should touch the bar. Arms are locked straight, hands gripping the bar just outside the knees.

Execution

• Drive through the heels
• Extend the legs while hips and shoulders rise at the same rate.
• Hips should fully open once the bar is past the knees.
• Bar should make contact with legs during the entire lift.
• Once the “hang” position is reached, return the bar to the floor. Hips and shoulders move first, knees last.
