Step-by-step
- Stand in the middle of the trap bar, feet hip-width apart, and push your hips back and squat down to grip the side handles.
- Keep your chest up, back flat, arms straight, and position your shoulders slightly forward.
- Drive through your heels and extend your legs and hips at the same time to lift the bar off the floor.
- Stand tall at the top and squeeze your glutes; don't lean too far back.
- Push your hips back to lower the bar to the floor under control and repeat.
Coaching tip
