Instructions:
- Stand with your feet hip-width apart, with a barbell or dumbbells in front of you.
- Bend at your hips and knees to grasp the weights with an overhand grip.
- Keep your back straight and chest up as you lift the weights by extending your hips and knees simultaneously.
- Lower the weights back to the ground by hinging at your hips first.
Best Practices:
- Keep the weights close to your body throughout the movement.
- Avoid rounding your back; maintain a neutral spine.
- Start with lighter weights to master your form before increasing the load.
