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