How to do it
- Stand holding the bar with an underhand grip, hips back and torso raised to about 30° above horizontal.
- Brace your core and keep your back flat.
- Pull the bar towards your lower abdomen, elbows tight to your sides.
- Lower it under control without changing your torso angle.
Watch out: Standing so upright that you use your traps instead of your lats, or heaving with your hips.
