Step-by-step
- Grip the bar shoulder-width apart, set your feet hip-width apart, and stand tall.
- Keep your knees very slightly bent and hold them fixed.
- Push your hips back to lower the bar down close to your legs.
- Lower until you feel a stretch in your hamstrings (usually just below the knee), keeping your back flat.
- Drive your hips forward to return to the tall starting position.
