Equipment · Barbell
Setup
Start standing. Soft knees, then push the hips back — the knee angle barely changes from there.
Coaching cue
Push the hips back, bar close to the legs. Stop when the hamstrings run out of stretch — not when you reach the floor.
Most common mistake
Turning it into a squat: knees bend and hips drop instead of travelling back. The bar should stay in contact with the thigh the whole way down.
