FitCi
Step-by-step
- Stand on a 2-5 cm platform or plate with the bar over mid-foot
- Hinge at the hips, grip the bar at shoulder width, and lock your back flat
- Lift your chest, tighten your lats, and drive through your legs to lift the bar
- Once the bar passes your knees, push your hips forward to stand fully upright
- Hinge at the hips to lower the bar under control to platform level
Coaching tip
A 2-5 cm platform is enough; anything higher compromises your lower back position.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: lower back, knee. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
