Instructions

  1. Stand with both feet on the box and place the loaded barbell on your upper back. With palms facing forward, pull the bar down while squeezing your shoulder blades for stability.
  2. Push your chest forward and take a big step back, lowering your back knee to the floor, keeping your front calf as vertical as possible. Pause, then lift your hips up, fully extending your back leg, and step forward back into the box.

Tips

  • Be sure to lower yourself until your back knee just touches the floor.
  • Try not to tilt your body forward. Always keep your chest high and straight.
  • Try not to drive with your toes instead of your heels.
