1. Sit on the floor and roll a loaded barbell over your legs until it is positioned directly over the crease of your hips. A pad on the bar is recommended for comfort.
2. Lie back onto the floor. Bend your knees and plant your feet firmly, hip-width apart. Lightly hold the barbell with your hands to keep it stable.
3. Brace your core, drive through your heels, and lift your hips until your body forms a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Squeeze your glutes hard at the top.
4. Lower your hips and the barbell back to the floor with control.
