| Muscles worked:
| | Lower Back
| | Instructions:
|
- Stand with feet shoulder width apart, holding a barbell (very light) across the back of your shoulder and neck. Your hands should be a little wider apart than your shoulders, palms facing away.
- Keep your upper body upright, shoulders back, chest out, and lower back straight with a slight forward arch.
- Keeping your back straight, and head up, slowly bend over at the waist until your back is parallel to the floor.
- Your legs should be slightly bent at the knees at all times.
- Raise to the starting position in a slow, controlled manner.
| | Don'ts:
|
- Don't go down farther than being parallel to the floor.
- Don't choose a weight that is too heavy. This is an advanced exercise and using too much weight could result in injury.
| | Note:
|
- This exercise is advanced and therefore should only be done by experienced weightlifters. We strongly recommend having a certified personal trainer instruct and watch you perform this exercise to assure that you are using proper technique.
