Instructions
Preparation
- Position bar on back of shoulders. Release bar and grasp bar to sides.
Execution
- Bend hips to lower torso forward until parallel to the floor. Raise torso until hips are extended. Repeat.
Comments
- Begin with very light weight and add additional weight gradually to allow adequate adaptation. Throughout lift keep back and knees straight. At the lower position the forefoot may raise off the floor slightly. Do not lower weight beyond a mild stretch. Full range of motion will vary from person to person depending on flexibility.
