How to Do it:

Start standing with your feet hip-shoulder width apart. Hold a barbell or dumbbells at your sides. With your knees soft, bend at the waist and push the hips back until your torso is parallel to the floor. Squeeze the glutes and hamstrings, then pull the weight up toward your chest, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Lower the weights, squeeze the glutes, and push the hips forward to stand. That’s 1 rep.

The Challenge:

Do some warm up work to start.

Start off with about 10 reps at a lighter weight.

Rest.

Add a few pounds to your load and aim for 20-25

Rest.

Repeat the last set.

Rest.

Using LESS weight do one last rep, aiming for 30-35

Challenge met!
