How to perform it

  1. 01 Stand with your feet hip-width apart and the bar over your midfoot, close to your shins.
  2. 02 Hinge and bend your knees to grip the bar just outside your legs.
  3. 03 Drop your hips until your shins touch the bar, lift your chest and set a flat back.
  4. 04 Take a big breath, brace your core and pull the slack out of the bar before it moves.
  5. 05 Push the floor away with your legs, keeping the bar dragging up your shins and thighs.
  6. 06 Stand tall with your hips and knees locked, then reverse the path by pushing your hips back first.
