Stand with feet hip-width apart, bar over midfoot
Hinge at the hips and bend knees to reach the bar
Grip the bar just outside your legs
Keep your back neutral and chest up
Pull your shoulders down and back
Brace your core before lifting
Keep the bar close to your shins
Drive through your heels and midfoot
Push the floor away as you stand up
Extend hips and knees at the same time
Lock out by standing tall, not leaning back
Lower the bar by hinging at the hips first
Bend knees after the bar passes them
Keep the bar path straight and close to your body
Maintain control throughout the entire movement
