The barbell rests on the upper back. From a hip-width upright stance, take a large step forwards (with your left leg), lowering your hips so low that your back knee almost touches the floor (both legs at right angles, so to speak). The front (left) leg is then pushed backwards to return to the starting position.
Starting position:
- Stand with hips wide apart
- Feet pointing forwards
- Barbell placed on upper back, grasp barbell with wide overhand grip
- Look (always) straight ahead in neutral position
Finishing position:
- The front knee is bent at a right angle directly over the heel
- The back knee almost touches the floor
- The upper body remains upright
Attention:
The front knee always remains behind the toe and centred over the foot.
Variant:
Replace the barbell with dumbbells, which are held next to the body with outstretched arms (or also hold the kettlebell in front of the chest or in a holding position).
