2) Grab the barbell with both hands - hold it above mid chest. Extend your arms towards the ceiling - have a slight softness in the elbows. Keep the bar still and engage the core throughout the entire exercise.
3) Lift your legs up (so they're vertical) and bend your knees so the back of the calves are parallel to the floor (the knees should be bent at right angles).
Perform instructions

2) Pause for a second, re-engage the core and return to the starting position.
