Execution

How to do it

  1. Bend at your hips and knees to grip the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. Begin the lift by pushing through your heels, extending your hips and knees to lift the barbell off the floor.

  3. As the barbell passes your knees, continue to lift by extending your hips until you are standing upright with the barbell in front of your thighs.

  4. Lower the barbell back to the floor with control by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, maintaining a straight back and engaged core. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your head in line with your spine to maintain proper neck alignment and prevent strain.

  • Visualize pulling the barbell back rather than up, to keep it close to your body and use the correct muscle groups.

  • Use a mixed grip (one hand overhand, one hand underhand) for heavier lifts to enhance grip strength.
