Stand with feet hip-width apart, shins close to the barbell, bar over mid-foot.

Hinge at hips and bend knees to grip the bar, hands just outside shins (overhand or mixed grip).

Keep back straight, chest up, shoulders slightly over the bar.

Engage core and lats. Initiate lift by pushing the floor away with your legs.

As bar passes knees, drive hips forward, extending knees and hips simultaneously.

Stand tall at the top, shoulders back. Do not hyperextend back.

Lower the bar with control by hinging at hips first, then bending knees.

Repeat for desired repetitions.
