From standing, bend from your hips and grab a loaded barbell with a grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Your knees should be bent, similar to a bent-over row.

Make sure your spine is in a relatively neutral alignment before initiating the pull from the ground. Brace your core and bend your elbows to pull the loaded barbell toward your abdomen.

Pause briefly at the top of the motion and slowly lower the barbell toward the ground with control.
