- Sit on the ground with a bench or box behind you, position the bar above your hips, your knees bent and both feet planted firmly on the ground
- Lean back so your upper back and shoulders are on the bench 
- Drive your back towards the bench, pull your belly tight and keep your back flat, raising the glutes slightly off the floor
- Lock your torso in so that the hips move up and down, almost as if your torso is a lever
- Drive your hips upward, lifting the barbell until your knees are bent to 90°, your shoulders should be near the top of the bench, with your body forming a straight line between them
- Pause at the top of the lift and squeeze your glutes
- Lower your hips to starting position with control
