## Technique

1. Sit on the end of a flat bench inside a rack with the bar across your upper back.
2. Spread your feet wide and sit tall with the back flat.
3. Hinge forward from the hips, keeping the back straight, as far as you can without rounding.
4. Come back up to upright by squeezing the glutes and back.

### Cues

- Start very light; the range is limited and the lower back works hard.
- Keep the chest up and the head in line with the spine.

### Common mistakes

- Rounding the lower back at the bottom.
- Dropping the head to go deeper.
