Instructions
Stand with your feet at shoulder-width apart. Place a barbell on your upper back, not your neck, and hold it with both hands. Keep your back straight, chest up, and core braced.
Begin the exercise by pushing your hips back and bending forward at the waist. Keep your back straight and your head in a neutral position aligned with your spine.
Lower your torso until it's parallel to the floor or until you feel a good stretch in your hamstrings. Your knees should remain slightly bent throughout the movement.
Without rounding your back, push your hips forward and return to the starting position.
Complete the desired number of repetitions and sets.
It's important to use a weight that allows you to maintain proper form throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding the back, as this could lead to injury. If you're new to this exercise or lifting weights in general, you may want to start with a lighter weight or practice the movement without weight to ensure proper form.
