How to do it

  1. Set the bar on your upper back with your feet slightly forward of the bar, shoulder-width apart.
  2. Unhook the bar and brace your abs.
  3. Sit straight down until your thighs are at least parallel, knees tracking over your toes.
  4. Drive up through your whole foot and re-hook the bar at the end.

Watch out: Standing with your feet directly under the bar, which pulls your knees too far forward.
