Uitvoering

1. 1To begin, first set the bar on a rack to just below shoulder level. Position a weight plate on the ground a couple feet back from the rack. Once the bar is loaded, step under it and place the back of your shoulders across it.
2. 2Hold on to the bar with both hands and lift it off the rack by first pushing with your legs and at the same time straighten your torso.
3. 3Step away from the rack and adopt a wide stance with the toes slightly pointed out, with one foot on the weight plate. Keep your head up at all times. This will be your starting position.
4. 4Begin to slowly lower the bar by bending the knees and hips. Continue down until the angle between the upper leg and the calves becomes slightly less than 90-degrees.
5. 5Raise the bar as you exhale by pushing the floor with the heels of your feet as you extend the hips and knees.
6. 6At the top of the movement, side step, bringing your feet together on the opposite side of the plate.
7. 7Using your inside foot, push the weight plate, sliding it across the floor to where you were just standing.
8. 8Place your inside foot on the weight plate, adopting a wide stance for the next repetition.
