Breathing:

Exhale as you raise bar. Inhale as you lower bar.

Trainer's Tips:

  • Alternatively try varying the width of the grip to determine which works best for you.
  • Make sure the seat is adjusted to proper height.

Common Mistakes:

  • Lowering the weight too quickly to starting position. This is dangerous and may cause the weight to bounce at the bottom of the movement.
