main muscle helpers

Step by step

Set the safety stoppers first so the bar can never come down on you. Put them just above where the plate should stop at the bottom.
Lie on your back on the floor or a flat bench under the bar, hips under the plate.
Put your feet flat on the plate, shoulder-width apart. Push up and twist the bar to unhook it.
Slowly bend your knees toward your chest until they are about 90°.
Push through your heels back up. Don't lock your knees. Twist the bar to hook it when you finish.

💡 Tip: Keep your lower back flat. The bar and plate already weigh something, so start light.
