Instructions:
Step up to the bar, bring your arms under the bar, keeping your elbows high, cross your arms and
grasp the bar. Next lift the weight and twist the bar back towards you to clear the
hooks of their holes. Place your feet shoulder width apart. Keeping your knees slightly bent, your back straight and head up, lower yourself
till your thighs are just below parallel to the floor. Push yourself back to the starting position and repeat.
Note: Placing a low block under your heels will help maintain your balance.
