Step by step

  1. Set the safety stoppers first so the bar can never come down on you. Put them just below where you'll squat to.
  2. Step under the bar so it rests on your upper back. Feet slightly in front of you.
  3. Twist to unhook. Sit down and back until thighs are about level with the floor.
  4. Push through your whole foot to stand up.

💡 Tip: Knees follow your toes.
