Barbell

Stand with feet hip-width apart and take a very wide grip on the barbell, hands near the collars.
Drop your hips lower than a conventional deadlift and keep your chest tall.
Brace your core, flatten your back, and push the floor away with your feet.
Keep the bar close to your body as you stand up.
Finish tall by fully extending your hips and squeezing your upper back.
Lower the bar back to the floor under control.
Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
