EXERCISE INSTRUCTION

  1. Stand near the bar with your feet much wider than your shoulders and your toes turned away from each other to make it easier to pass the centre of gravity through your heels.
  2. Sit down as deep as possible and grab the bar with a shoulder grip, while bringing the shoulder blades together.
  3. Try to look at the corner of the ceiling to make it easier to keep your back arched at the lower back.
  4. Pushing off with your heels, stand with the barbell, at the same time unbending your back so that at the top point it is slightly bent back.
  5. Sit down just enough to touch the pancakes on the floor, but do not bend forward.
