Great exercise for building lower-body strength and developing a strong hip hinge.
Start by standing in the middle of the trap bar with your feet about hip-width apart.
Foot pressure is important. Keep your weight balanced through the middle of your feet.
Grab the handles and take all the slack out of your arms. Set your back and keep your eyes straight ahead.
Drive through the floor with your legs until you’re standing tall.
Maintain the same foot pressure as you reverse the movement and lower the bar under control.
Both high and low handles follow the same basic movement. The high handles generally allow for a shorter range of motion, while the low handles require more depth.
Do:
2–4 sets
2–5 reps per set
Higher reps can also be used when focusing on muscular endurance.
Stay balanced. Take out the slack. Drive through the floor.
