Set up with the bottom of your shoulder blades on the edge of a bench.
The barbell should be placed at the crease of the hips (I’d suggest using a pad or towel to act as a cushion to avoid having the bar dig into your hip bones)
Hold onto the bar to keep it in place.
For your feet placement, you should have your toes pointed forward or slightly out. Do whichever feels best for you. Feet about shoulder-width apart.
Starting at the bottom, push off through your heels and focus on using your glutes to move the weight.
Find a spot on the wall in front of you, look at it throughout the movement. This will help you avoid hyperextending (extending your hips too far to the point you’re arching your back).
As you get to the top and you’re locked out with your torso parallel to the ground, you shins should be vertical or almost completely vertical (perpendicular to the ground)
Slowly lower the weight with control, still focusing on using your glutes.
