How to perform

Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell with a reverse grip at shoulder width. Slightly bend knees and hinge at the hips, lowering your torso almost parallel to the floor, maintaining a straight back. Engage your core, keeping your head aligned with your spine. Pull the barbell towards your lower ribcage, squeezing shoulder blades. Lower the barbell with control. Repeat.
