Instructions

Proper position

  • Position your feet hip-width apart and grasp the bar in a pronated or inverted grip.
  • Your hands are on the bar slightly wider apart than your shoulders, your knees are bent and your back is flat.
  • Your shoulders are above the bar. Your neck is in line with your spine.   

Movement and breathing

  • Take a breath, block, then raise the bar, keeping your back positioned. As you raise the bar, it brushes against your shins and thighs.
  • Then return to the initial position.
  • Exhale, then bend your hips and knees synchronously, keeping the bar close to you. The descent must be mastered before starting a new repetition.
