How to perform it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Bend forward at the waist, keeping your back straight and your core engaged. Extend your arms straight in front of you, gripping the bar or handles with a close grip. Pull the bar or handles towards your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together. Pause for a moment at the top of the movement, then slowly release and return to the starting position. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
