With feet shoulder-width apart, position yourself under the center of the barbell in the rack as you place it between your traps and upper back, and grip the barbell slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Lift the barbell from the rack by partially standing up and taking a step back while squeezing the bar tightly and keeping it rested over your upper back.
Inhale and with feet pointed slightly outwards break at your hips, sitting down and allowing your torso to come moderately forward while keeping it straight.
Continue until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.
Exhale and push through your heels to return to the starting position.
After all reps are completed, walk forward to return the barbell to the rack.
