- Begin by standing in front of a bar with your feet about hip-width apart.
- Bend at the hips and knees to grab the bar with a supinated (underhand) grip, positioning the bar about an inch away from your shins.
- Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, use your back muscles to lift the bar straight up towards your chest.
- As the bar reaches your chest, pause briefly, and then lower the bar back to the starting position.
