Coaching cues

  • Hold the barbell across your upper back, resting it on your traps or rear delts.
  • Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your hips back and down, as if sitting into a chair.
  • Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
  • Drive through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
