Instructions
- Stand up, holding a straight bar with your arms extended in front of your thighs and spread your feet hip-width apart.
- Take one foot back, with the ball of the foot touching the ground and the heel raised.
- Start the movement by pushing the hip back, the torso goes down in a straight line, while the bar descends close to the front leg.
- Descend as far as your hamstring flexibility allows and start the ascent by pushing the ground with your front leg and bringing your hip back forward, and repeat.
Tips
- Avoid rounding the lower back, keep the back neutral throughout the movement.
- Do not throw the trunk forward; the movement starts from the hips going backward.
- The back leg should not push the ground forcefully; it is only for balance.
