How to do it

1. Stand with your feet about hip-width apart and hold a barbell in front of your thighs with an overhand grip.
2. Keep your knees softly bent and maintain that same slight bend throughout the set.
3. Brace your core, keep the bar close to your legs, and hinge at your hips by pushing your hips back.
4. Lower the bar until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings while keeping your spine neutral.
5. Drive your hips forward and squeeze your glutes and hamstrings to return to standing.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions without bouncing at the bottom.
