Setup
Set a light barbell across your upper back as for a squat, feet hip-width, knees soft.
How to do it
- Breathe in and brace.
- Push your hips back and let your chest come forward, back flat.
- Stop when you feel a strong hamstring stretch, usually around horizontal or above.
- Drive your hips forward to stand tall.
Coaching cues
- Hips back, not chest down.
- Keep the bar over your midfoot.
