How to do it

Steps :

1.) Start by placing a weighted barbell on the floor in front of you.

2.) Position yourself in a wide stand with feet well over shoulder width apart, bending at the hips and grabbing the bar in a close grip.

3.) Keep your hips as far back as possible and your legs straight.

4.) Then extend through your pelvis, driving your hips forward, keeping your arms hanging straight with the barbell coming up to thigh level.

5.) Continue with this motion until you are fully standing up straight, then carefully return the weight down to the starting position.

6.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
