Instructions
- Place the bar on your shoulders, behind your neck, as in a squat.
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent.
- Slowly lean forward from the hips, keeping your back straight.
- Lower until the torso is almost parallel to the ground or as far as is comfortable.
- Return to the starting position by contracting the glutes and hamstrings.
Tips
- Keep the spine neutral throughout the movement to avoid injuries.
- Slightly bend your knees and avoid locking them.
- Descend only as far as you can maintain proper form.
- Engage the core to stabilize the torso and protect the lower back.
