Keep your core tight and drive your hips forward to lift the barbell off the rack. Step away from the rack. Secure the barbell on your traps and make sure your core is braced before beginning.
  2. Step out with the left foot, leaving the right foot behind. From this position, lower the back right knee towards the ground. Push up with your front left leg. Please note that you will not kick back up into a regular standing position until all repetitions have been completed.
  3. Continue this up and down pattern. Switch sides and perform the same pattern with the right leg in front.

  2. Keep your shoulders back. And your back straight.
  3. Take a long stride forward with your right leg. Your right foot should be in a position, that when you bend your right knee, your upper and lower leg form a 90 degree angle.
  4. Slowly bend both your knees, to lower your hips until your left (rear) knee is just above the floor. Hold for a count of one.
  5. Return to the start position by slowly straightening your legs and raising your body back to a standing position.
  6.  Complete all the repetitions for one set full set, then switch legs, or you can alternate between legs for each rep.

Do not let your knee travel past your toes in the down position as this can cause instability and injury.

  3. Allow your thigh to come to parallel with the floor.
