Start Position

1. Stand upright with your feet placed shoulder-width apart.

2. Grasp a barbell with an overhand grip (palms facing downward) in front of your thighs.

3. Keep your elbows slightly bent, maintain an upright chest, and engage your core muscles.

Proper Form

1. Gradually lift the barbell towards your waist, keeping your elbows slightly bent and shoulders drawn back.

2. Pause briefly as the barbell aligns with your waist, and tighten your shoulder blades together.

3. Slowly lower the barbell to its original position.

Breathing Technique

1. Breathe in as you elevate the barbell toward your waist.

2. Breathe out while returning the barbell to its starting position.

Precautions

1. Always engage your core and maintain a straight back throughout the movement.

2. Avoid arching your back or using momentum to lift the barbell.

3. Do not completely extend your elbows at any time.

4. Select a manageable weight initially, then progressively increase as you build strength.
