Primary Muscle: Back
Equipment: Barbell
Level: Intermediate
Purpose: To target your posterior chain in its entirety.
Execution: Stand with your feet shoulder width wide and grab a barbell with an over/under grip slightly wider than shoulder width. Keeping your upper body upright, pull the bar up as if you were standing up, driving through your heels and keeping your chest up. Be sure to keep your shoulders back as you lift the weight up. Slowly lower the bar in a controlled fashion and try to keep the bar as close to your legs/shins as possible. Do not allow the weight to hit the floor before lifting for another repetition.
Over/under grip: one hand overhand and the other underhand.
