Step by step

  1. Stand on a low box holding a light barbell at the front of your hips with arms extended.
  2. Tuck your chin to your chest and slowly start rolling the spine downward one segment at a time.
  3. Continue rolling forward through the upper back, then the mid-back, then the lower back.
  4. Allow the bar to drift down toward the feet, keeping the legs straight and the bar close to the body.
  5. Pause briefly at the bottom in a deep forward fold with the spine fully rounded.
  6. Reverse the motion by stacking up segment by segment from the lower back back to the head.
