How to do it
Drive your elbows down and under the bar to stack the weight.
- 1
Position yourself into a staggered stance with a barbell on your back across the shoulders.
- 2
Step back with one foot and balance on the ball of that foot.
- 3
Lower your hips until your front thigh is almost parallel to the floor, ensuring your front knee stays above the front foot.

- 5
Perform all reps on one side before switching to the other leg.
Expert tip
