How to do it.

  1. Step 01

    Load a barbell onto your upper back, similar to a squat.

  2. Step 02

    Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, knees slightly bent.

  3. Step 03

    Hinge at your hips, pushing them backward while keeping your back straight.

  4. Step 04

    Lower your torso until it's nearly parallel to the floor or a comfortable stretch is felt.

  5. Step 05

    Engage your hamstrings and glutes to reverse the movement.

  6. Step 06

    Return to the starting upright position, squeezing your glutes.

What separates good from great

Pro cues.

  • Maintain a neutral spine throughout the entire movement.

  • Use light weights to master form before increasing load.

  • Control the eccentric phase to maximize hamstring stretch.
