Method:
Stand with legs shoulder-width apart. Grip the bar with your palms towards you, hands about a hand span apart. Stand tall and pull the bar towards your chin in a smooth movement. While keeping your back straight, lower the bar to your belly button and repeat.Why it’s good:
Because you need to use lots of different muscles in the action, it builds up the whole upper body.What to watch out for:
Posture. Always keep your back straight and shoulders back. If you’re hunched over, your spine is taking the load, which can lead to injury.Snapshot:
