- Set up a barbell on blocks or mats so the plates are elevated (typically to mid-shin or just below the knee), standing with your feet hip-width apart.
- Hinge at your hips, bend your knees to grab the bar, pull the slack out of the barbell, and brace your core tightly with a flat back.
- Drive through your mid-foot and heels while extending your hips and knees together to stand tall, squeezing your glutes at the top.
- Hinge at your hips to lower the bar back onto the blocks under control, letting it come to a complete stop before the next rep.
