How to do it
- Set a bar in a rack or Smith machine at about waist height and lie underneath it.
- Grip the bar overhand, slightly wider than your shoulders, and straighten your body from heels to head.
- Pull your chest up to the bar, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Lower yourself under control until your arms are straight.
- Keep your body in one straight line; don't let your hips sag as you pull.
Warm up first and pick a weight you can control through the whole movement. Stop if something hurts.
