Stand wide, grip inside your knees
Starting position
Stand wide with your toes turned out, place the bar over mid-foot, and grip it with straight arms inside your knees.
The movement
Push your feet into the floor, straighten your knees and hips to stand tall, then hinge at the hips and lower the bar.
Most common mistake
Don't round your back or let your knees cave in, keep your back steady and push your knees out in line with your toes.
