Technique
Setup
Stand with the bar over mid-foot, feet hip-width. Hinge down and grip just outside your legs, shins touching the bar.
Movement
Push the floor away and stand up tall, keeping the bar against your legs the whole way. Hinge back down with control.
Form Tip
Set your back flat and take the slack out of the bar before each pull — no jerking off the floor.
Increase Difficulty
Add weight or add a 2-second pause just below the knees.
Decrease Difficulty
Pull from blocks or an elevated surface to shorten the range.
