How to do it

1. Lie on the floor with a barbell across your hips and knees bent.
2. Drive your hips up by squeezing your glutes.
3. Hold at the top with hips fully extended.
4. Lower with control.
5. Repeat.

Tips

• Drive through your heels rather than your toes.
• Finish with your ribs down to avoid arching the lower back.
• Keep your knees in line with your feet, not caving inward.
