LEGS & BACK (Beginner/Advanced/Coaching Suggested)
* This Is A Contra Indicated Exercise For Anyone With A History Of Lower Back Or Knee Injury!
Stand over the barbell. Position your feet underneath at wider than shoulder width. The bar should cross just in front of your ankles at the metatarsal toe joint. Point your toes slightly out. Hold your head erect and tighten your spinal muscles. Rotate one shoulder forward so that the palm of the hand supinates facing out. Rotate the other shoulder backward so that the palm of the hand pronates facing in. Now bend over while squatting down. Grasp the bar with a grip that is inside of your thighs. Take a 3/4 breath and lift the bar pushing off the floor until your legs and back are fully extended. Hold momentarily and than slowly descend back to the starting position.
