Muscle Group: Legs
Notes:
Caution: This is a great exercise to work the hamstrings but puts a great deal of pressure on the lower back. Keep loads light and shoulders pulled back throughout movement!
Not For Beginners!
-------------------------------
Step 1
Stand with feet together.
Have barbell resting on thighs at arms length.
Pull shoulders back.
Step 2
Keeping shoulders pulled back and the bar close to the body, lower the weight till a slight stretch can be felt in the hamstring.
The hamstrings can handle a heavy load but the lower back can't. Keep the weight low and work at high reps!
