Setup instructions

Perform instructions

1) Whilst keeping the back flat and core strong, hinge from the hips and lift the bar off the ground.

2) Drive through your heels and squeeze your hamstrings and glutes until you’re standing - the bar should be past your knees.

3) Pause then bring yourself back to the starting position keeping neck and back straight as you lower the bar.
