Set the bar up at around armpit height, and grip it evenly, slightly outside shoulder-width level.
Tuck yourself under the bar and position it on your lower traps, around the level of your rear deltoids.
Extend your upper back and press the bar against it with both hands. Keep your wrist straight and don't rest the bar on your hands.
With your feet hip-width apart and firmly planted on the ground, push your hips forward and unrack the bar. Take a few steps back to clear enough space for the lift.
With the bar firmly pressed against your upper back and your feet planted into the ground, take a breath and push your hips straight back.
As you lean forward, keep your back in a neutral position and think about pushing your butt back.
Lean your torso forward as much as possible while keeping your back straight. You should feel an intense stretch in your posterior chain muscles. Allow for a slight bend in your knees at the bottom.
Initiate the upward movement by pushing your hips forward and stand tall. Exhale at the top.
