How to do it
- Set the bar at about mid-thigh height, grip it overhand about shoulder-width, stand up and twist it to unhook.
- Stand with feet about hip-width apart and a small bend in your knees.
- Push your hips back and lower the bar along your legs until you feel a stretch in the back of your thighs, back straight.
- Drive your hips forward to stand back up tall.
Beginner tip: Stand close so the bar stays near your legs on its fixed track.
