- Grab an EZ bar or two dumbbells; 10-20 pounds is a great starting point.
- Lean forward and bend both knees, remembering to keep a flat back.
- Extend your arms so they are straight. Lift the EZ bar or dummbells straight up to your hips, squeezing your shoulder blades together as you do. Be sure to keep your elbows in and pointed back. Don't arch your back.
- Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position. This counts as one rep.
