damaging your lower back.

rounding and not able to support the
weight, stop the move immediately.

stiff throughout the move until the
bar reaches the upper thigh area then
straighten your legs.

it is done slowly and with high control.

sure your shoulders are pulled back,
this will decrease the possibility of
injury.
