How to perform

Begin with an overhand grip, holding the bar at your hips. Initiate the movement by retracting your shoulders and shifting your hips backward as you lower the bar. Drive your hips forward to return to a standing position, keeping the bar close to your body.

Tips

Maintain a tight grip with your thumbs wrapped around the bar, keeping your elbows locked. Distribute your bodyweight evenly across your feet to ensure stability. Consider using lifting straps or a hook grip if grip strength becomes a limiting factor. Adjust your neck position to help preserve a neutral spine throughout the movement. Keep the bar in contact with your body for optimal leverage.
