Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Stand tall with your feet stable and hold a light bar in front of your thighs using a shoulder-width overhand grip.
  2. 02Brace your trunk, draw your shoulder blades gently down, and keep a slight, fixed bend in your elbows.
  3. 03Raise the bar forward in a smooth arc until your arms are about parallel to the floor.
  4. 04Keep your wrists neutral and avoid leaning back, flaring your ribs, or shrugging your shoulders as the bar rises.
  5. 05Lower the bar under control to the front of your thighs and reset before the next repetition.
