  2. Keep your legs slightly bent, and hinge at the hips to lower the barbell down.
  3. Maintain a flat back, and lower until you feel a stretch in the hamstrings.
  4. Engage your glutes and hamstrings to rise back to the starting position.
  5. Repeat the motion with controlled, steady movements.
