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!
