Stance: Place the barbell at the floor and step forwards until it rests directly at your shins. Grip the bar at shoulder width with an alternated grip: one palm facing up and the other facing down. Keep your knees slightly bent and feet pointing forwards.

Posture: Keep your core tense and your back straight. Stick your hips and rear out and keep your shoulders back and tightened.

The Upward Motion: Basically, just straighten your back and stand up. Grip the bar tight and push with your feet to raise the weight. Raise your shoulders and push your glutes simultaneously. In the lower half of the movement, you should feel your hamstrings and glutes performing most of the work.

When the bar begins to near your waistline it will begin to shift the force to your lower back. Continue straightening until you are completely upright, with the bar resting against your waist-upper thigh region.In this second portion you will need to shift your weight to the heels in order to retain balance and target the hamstrings and back.

The Lowering Motion: Slowly lower the weight to the floor, with the same emphasis on posture and form as in the eccentric portion. Regain your balance and begin again. Do not drop the weight or use momentum to lower it, as this will negate the emphasis of the exercise and may cause injury.
