BACK & SHOULDERS (Beginner/Advanced)
* A Contra Indicated Exercise For Anyone With A History Of Lower Back Injury!
* If you have a weak lower back use the alternative exercise Lat Pulldown!
Stand over a barbell loaded with the correct resistance. Position your feet at hip width and the bar above the front of your ankles. Point your toes out. Hold your head erect and tighten your spinal muscles. Lean over while squatting by bending your knees and grip the bar at shoulder width. Raise the bar up off the floor with your legs and back until you are extended at a 45 degree angle. The bar should be hanging in front of you. Take a 3/4 breath. Now keep your spine ridged and pull the barbell up to your chest with your back and shoulder muscles. Hold the bar at your chest momentarily and then slowly lower it back to the starting position.
