## Technique

1. Set the Smith bar at about knee height and stand close to it, feet hip-width apart.

3. Pull the bar to your lower stomach, keeping the elbows close to your sides.
4. Lower it until the arms are straight, then re-hook the bar when the set is done.

### Cues

- Stand so the bar runs just in front of your shins and thighs.
- Keep the torso angle fixed.
- Drive the elbows back; do not curl the bar.

### Common mistakes

- Standing too far from the bar, which strains the lower back.
- Jerking the bar with the hips.
