Lift:

Set a barbell on a rack. Pick the bar up and stand
holding the bar with an overhand or staggered grip
(shown). If you use a staggered grip, alternate the hand position
each set to avoid inconsistencies. Have the bar so it is
actually touching your body Keep your chest out and shoulders
back to help keep your back flat. Don't lean back to arch your
back (like you'll see people do). Stand straight. Exhale. Keep
your head aligned with your body. |

Slowly lower your body to the ground, with the bar
barely touching your body, keeping your back flat, chest out and
shoulders back. Go down until the bar is about halfway down your
shin, and inhale. Then bring the bar up to the starting
position by imagining that you're pushing through the floor with
your legs. Don't lift up on the bar with your arms. Keep the bar as
close to your body as possible (actually touching it the whole
time). Repeat for reps. |
