Barbell

1. Sit on the floor with your upper back (just below the shoulder blades) resting against the side of a stable bench. 2. Roll a padded barbell over your legs until it sits in the crease of your hips. Plant your feet firmly on the floor, about shoulder-width apart, so that your shins are vertical when your hips are lifted. 3. Keeping your chin tucked, drive through your heels and squeeze your glutes to lift your hips toward the ceiling. Your body should form a straight line from your shoulders to your knees at the top. 4. Pause for a moment at the top, focusing on the glute contraction, before lowering your hips back down with control to complete the rep.
