How to do it

  1. Rest the bar across your upper back, below your neck, with your feet hip-width apart.
  2. Unlock your knees slightly and brace your core.
  3. Push your hips back and lower your chest until you feel a strong stretch in your hamstrings.
  4. Drive your hips forward to return to standing, keeping the bar pinned to your back.
  5. Keep your back flat throughout; start light and stop lowering before it begins to round.

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