How to perform

Set pins in a rack at or just below parallel. Load barbell and stand under it, feet shoulder-width apart. Position bar across upper back, centered. Grip the bar slightly wider than shoulder-width. Engage core, retract shoulder blades, maintain neutral spine. Lift by driving through heels, extending hips and knees. Lower with control to the pins, starting from a dead stop.

Tips

Maintain a strong core. Use a controlled tempo when lowering. Start with lighter weight to master technique. Ensure knees track over toes. Experiment with pin heights.
