Setup

Hinge at the hips until your torso is about 45°, knees soft, holding the bar with a shoulder-width overhand grip.

Movement

Pull the bar to your lower ribs, driving elbows back, then lower with control without standing up.

Form Tip

Hold the hinge — if your torso rises every rep, lighten the load.

Increase Difficulty

Add weight or pause 1 second at the ribs.

Decrease Difficulty

Raise the torso angle slightly or lighten the bar.
