Hand Position: Slightly outside shoulder width, palms facing toward you.
Foot Position: Feet should be shoulder width, toes pointed forward.
Start Position: Upright, with your shoulder blades squeezed together and your lower back arched so it remains tight and flat.
End Position: Begin to push your hips back while continuing to keep your shoulder blades squeezed together and your back flat and tight. Keeping a slight bend in your knees, continue to push your hips to lower the bar down your leg until it reaches the middle of your shin. At that point, begin to raise the bar up, keeping it close to the body. Your shoulder blades must remain pinched together and your back is to remain flat and tight.
