Description

Place the bar on top of your shoulders, resting on your trapezius muscles, with your back straight and chest open. Slowly go down by bending your hips and knees until you reach the bottom position, with your thighs at least parallel to the floor. Pause for about 2 seconds without relaxing, maintaining muscle tension. Then return to the starting position in an energetic and controlled manner, keeping your core engaged and the bar stable throughout the movement.
