Step-by-step
- Set the bar across your upper back (on your traps) and grip it shoulder-width apart.
- Set your feet shoulder-width apart with your toes turned slightly out.
- Keeping your chest open and your back flat, lower your hips back and down.
- Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor, with your knees tracking over your toes.
- Drive up as if pushing through your heels and return to the start.
Coaching tip
Keep your chest up, push your knees out in line with your toes, and sit down by pushing your hips back.
