BENT OVER

1.  Holding a barbell with a grip with palms facing down , bend your knees slightly and bring your torso forward , by bending at the waist , while keeping the back straight until it is almost parallel to the floor.

Tip:- Make sure that you keep the head up. The barbell should hang directly in front of you as your arms hang perpendicular to the floor and your torso . This is your starting position.

2.  Now, while keeping the torso stationary , breathe out and lift the barbell to you . Keep the elbows close to the body and use forearms to hold the weight . At the top contracted position , squeeze the back muscles and hold for a brief pause.

3.  Then inhale and slowly lower the barbell back to the starting position.

4. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.

Precaution:-

                     This exercise is not recommended for people with back problems.
