Techniques
  1. Begin standing with your feet shoulder width apart and hands a little wider than hip width apart on the bar

  3. Slowly straighten your body again through your hips, keeping your back and legs straight
  4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until you can no longer maintain correct technique
Tips
  • Keep your back and legs as straight as possible, you should feel your hamstrings stretch as you go down
