Place feet shoulderwide beneath bar, flex knees and with lower back straight bend over to grasp bar shoulderwide. Use overhand or mixed grip. Return to standing position. Keep knees and back straight while lowering bar by bending hips as far as possible. Return and repeat. Always keep bar close to legs. Flexible individuals can use a platform to stand on to increase working range. Range of motion depends on individual flexibility.
