Keeping your back straight and your core engaged, bend at the waist, pushing your hips back and lowering your torso until it is nearly parallel with the floor.
Make sure your knees are slightly bent but stable, and your head is in a neutral position in line with your spine.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the movement, then slowly raise your torso back to the starting position, using your hamstrings and glutes to pull you up.
Repeat this movement for the desired number of repetitions, ensuring to keep your form correct throughout the exercise.
Pro Tip
**Avoid Overloading**: Another common mistake is loading too much weight on the barbell. Start with a lighter weight to ensure you can maintain proper form and gradually increase as you get more comfortable with the exercise. Overloading can lead to straining your back and other injuries. **Controlled Movement**: It's crucial to perform the movement in a slow and controlled manner. Rushing through the exercise or using momentum to lift the weight can lead to improper form and potential injury. **Engage Your Core**: Throughout the exercise, it's important to keep your core engaged. This will help maintain proper form and protect your lower back. 5
