Starting Position: Stand between the Öppen Bar handles with feet at a hip-width distance. Hold the handles in each hand and push through your hips to come to a standing position.
Procedure: Maintaining a flat back, hinge at the waist by pushing the hips back and lowering the chest until the weights are just below the knees. Return to standing, pushing your feet through the ground and thrusting the hips forward by contracting the hamstrings and glutes. Repeat for the prescribed repetitions.
Coaching Key: Engage the shoulder to prevent the weight from pulling them forward, causing your back to round. Keep the weight close to your body throughout the movement. Push your feet through the ground.
Feel it: Working your glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
