How to handle weight
Start with an empty bar or a goblet. Add kilos slower than any other hinge.
Usual programming
3 × 6–10, conservative.
Caution
Light until the pattern is ugly-proof. Brace first. This is not a squat. Skip it if the back is already fried from deadlifts.
Setup
Bar on the back, brace, hips back, slight knee bend, stand.
Cues
- Brace first
- Don’t round
- Stop when hamstrings say so
Common mistakes
- Squatting it

- Neck looking up
