Starting Position: Stand between the handles of the Öppen Bar. Holding each handle, push through your hips to get to a standing position, then take one small step back with one leg.
Procedure: Maintaining a flat back, hinge at the waist by pushing the hips back and lowering the chest until the weights are below the knees. Return to standing, pushing your feet through the ground and thrusting the hips forward by contracting the hamstrings and glutes. Complete the prescribed repetitions on one leg before repeating on the opposite.
Coaching Key: Most of the weight should be on the front leg, with the staggered leg there for support. Engage the shoulder to prevent the weight from pulling them forward, causing your back to round. Push your feet through the ground when standing tall.
Feel it: Working your glutes, hamstrings, and lower back.
