How to do it

  1. Stand tall holding the bar in front of your thighs with an overhand grip about shoulder-width apart.
  2. Brace your core and raise the bar straight in front of you to about shoulder height.
  3. Keep a slight bend in your elbows and don't lean back or swing the bar up.
  4. Lower it slowly back to your thighs.

Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
