Instructions
Proper Position
- Attach a straight bar to a low pulley.
- Hold the bar with a pronated grip (palms facing you), hands shoulder-width apart.
- Stand facing the pulley with your feet hip-width apart, knees slightly bent, and back straight. Engage your core for stability.
Movement
- Hinge forward at the hips, keeping your legs almost straight (a slight bend in the knees). Slowly lower the bar until it reaches about your shins or within your comfortable range of motion.
- Keep your back straight and shoulders slightly pulled back to avoid rounding. Focus on stretching your hamstrings.
- Slowly rise back up by straightening your hips and contracting your glutes, returning to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Breathing
- Inhale as you lower the bar.
- Exhale as you lift back up.
Tips
- Avoid rounding your back to prevent injury.
- Control the movement throughout the exercise.
- Focus on contracting your hamstrings and glutes during the movement.
