STARTING POSITION:
Select the appropriate plates amount to put them on the bar. Grab the bar with a prone grip with your hands at shoulder width apart. Separate your feet at hips width apart. Your knees should be bent to 90 degrees and your back should be parallel to the floor. Retract your shoulder blade. Contract your pelvic floor and core while keeping your chest up.
MOVEMENT:
Through the heels, move the bar upward by extending your hips and knees at the same time while you exhale. Continuing the pull, move the bar up until your chest height and turn your wrists to place it on your shoulders. Now the bar should be just above your shoulders, under your chin. Helped by a push from your legs, extend your arms to push the bar straight up until your elbows are extended but not locked out. Slowly lower the weight until your hands are just above your shoulders. Return to the starting position lowering the bar at the same time you move your butt back as far as you can keeping the bar close to your legs.
TIPS: Make sure that you don't move your back and that you do the exercise with your hips and knees. Focus on stiffen the spine all the time using your core muscles.Muscles worked
