sideways to a mirror so you can observe your technique
Take a shoulder length grip on the bar,
stand straight and hold the bar against your thighs
Keep your feet shoulder length apart
with your toes pointing outwards
Use the drag and lock technique with
your arms
Inhale, then exhale as you bring the
bar up to a 45 degree angle and the forearms point up. The only part of your arm

Lower the back down and stop just short
of locking out your arms at the bottom to keep the tension on your biceps. Keep
your back straight at all times.
