How to perform it

Stand with your feet hip-width apart, holding a barbell in front of your thighs with an overhand grip. Shift your weight onto your left foot and lift your right foot slightly off the ground. Hinge forward at the hips, keeping your back straight and your right leg extended behind you for balance. Lower the barbell towards the ground, keeping it close to your body and your left leg slightly bent. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then engage your glutes and hamstrings to lift your torso back up to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, then switch sides.
