    Maintain a slight bend in the knees throughout the movement.

  3. 3

    Keeping the back straight and core engaged, hinge at the hips, pushing them backward.

  4. 4

    Lower the barbell towards the ground, keeping it close to your legs.

  5. 5

    Descend until you feel a significant stretch in your hamstrings, or until your torso is nearly parallel to the floor.

    Return to the starting position by driving hips forward and squeezing glutes.

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
