Barbell
Starting position
Place the barbell on the floor in front of you. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart. Bend over and grab the barbell at about the same width. Note: If you have lower back problems, do not do this exercise.
Main movement
Keeping your knees slightly bent, lift the bar until your torso is parallel to the floor.
Please note: To protect your back, be extremely careful, perform the exercise correctly and do not overdo the weight.
Final position
Pull the bar straight up to your chest, then lower it. Don't let the bar touch the floor.
