Exercise Tips

  • Try not to let the bar go too far in front of your body; instead, keep it close to your body throughout the exercise.
  • Keep your heels on the ground throughout the exercise.
  • Don't round your back as you move. Instead, keep your chest up and your back straight throughout the exercise.
