Setup instructions

1) Stand tall with a slight bend in the knees. Keep the chest up, core and glutes tight.

2) Hold the bar with a wide overhand grip and place it on the meaty parts of the traps - elbows face down and out.

Perform instructions

1) Take a step backward with your left leg - let the balls of your feet touch the ground first. Bend both knees so your right knee is at a 90 degree angle and your left is parallel to the ground. The right knee shouldn’t track over the toe and the left should be hovering above the ground.

2) Press into your right heel and drive back to the starting position.

3) Hinge forward from the hips with a slight bend in your knees - keep the back flat.

4) Once you're near parallel, pause then hinge back up to the starting position.

5) Reverse lunge on the other side and repeat.
