Instructions

Proper position

  • Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart, and grasp a barbell in front of you with your hands shoulder-width apart and palms facing your body.
  • Keeping your knees slightly bent, lean forward until your torso is between parallel and about 30° above the horizontal plane, with your head raised. The bar should hang in front of your body. This is the starting position.

Movement and breathing

  • Inhale and hold your breath as you pull the bar towards your waist.
  • Keep your elbows in and close to your body so that they move backwards as you pull the bar up.
  • Concentrate on pulling with your back and shoulder muscles, and raise your elbows as high as you can.
  • Hold your breath until you reach the end of the movement.
