Setup
Grip wide enough that the bar is at hip-crease height when standing; straps are fine.
How to do it well
- Take a wide grip so the bar sits low at the hips
- Set the back flat; the hips start lower than a deadlift
- Push the floor away and keep the bar close
Common mistakes
- Letting the upper back round under the wide grip
- Loading it like a conventional pull
