Technique:

  • Set up bar dumbbells on your sides.
  • Start with feet about shoulder-width apart with toes slightly outwards.
  • Lower the body by hinging at the hips and knees while your glutes move down and back until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
  • Press up through your feet while squeezing your glutes to return to the upright starting position.
