Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Hold the barbell or weight overhead with your arms fully extended and locked. Brace your core and keep your chest proud as you initiate the movement by pushing your hips back. Bend your knees and lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor, while maintaining the weight directly overhead throughout the entire movement. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, keeping your arms straight and active throughout the exercise.
