Coaching cues

  • Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing outwards.
  • Place a barbell on the ground in front of you, centered between your feet.
  • Bend your knees and lower your hips, keeping your back straight and chest up, to grip the barbell with an overhand grip.
  • Engage your core and drive through your heels to lift the barbell off the ground, extending your hips and knees simultaneously.
  • As you lift, keep your chest up and back straight, and push your hips forward to fully engage your glutes.
  • Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position, maintaining control throughout the movement.
