    Stand facing a barbell with your feet pointed straight ahead and placed shoulder-width apart.  Squat and grab the barbell with your hands positioned slightly wider than shoulder width apart.  Contract your glutes, drive through your heels and lift the barbell with your arms straight until you are fully upright.  Return to the starting position.
