Muscles worked: Hamstrings, Glutes, Lower back
Instructions:
Place a barbell on the floor at your feet. Keep your feet together or slightly apart for more
comfortability. Bend over and grab the barbell at a shoulder width apart grip. With your knees bent,
slowly stand up until your knees are slightly bent and the bar rest at arm's length across your upper thighs.
Next, keeping your knees slightly bent, bend forward at the waist as far as possible. When you have
gone down as far as you can, return to the upright position and repeat.
Note:It is important to keep your knees slightly bent
and your back straight at all times. This will keep your hamstrings isolated and your back
protected. A box or some kind of platform is sometimes needed when using heavier poundage.
This makes sure you are getting a full range of motion.
