How to do it

  1. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell across your upper back. Grip the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.

  2. Slightly bend your knees and hinge at your hips to lower your torso forward. Keep your back straight and your head in line with your spine.

  3. Continue to lower your torso until it is nearly parallel to the floor, feeling a stretch in your hamstrings and glutes.

  4. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to raise your torso back to the starting position, keeping your back straight and core engaged. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.

Form tips

  • Maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement to prevent lower back strain.

  • Engage your core to support your lower back and maintain stability.

  • Hinge at your hips rather than bending your back to ensure proper form.
