Step by step

Set the Smith bar to about mid-shin height and stand with feet wider than shoulders, toes turned out.
Grip the bar with hands inside your knees and palms facing the body, then unrack by rotating the wrists.
Stand tall with the bar against your thighs, brace your core, and pull your shoulder blades down.
Hinge at the hips by pushing them back, letting the bar travel down the front of the legs.
Stop when you feel a deep stretch in the glutes and hamstrings, with the bar at about mid-shin height.
Drive the hips forward to stand back up to full lockout, squeezing the glutes hard at the top.

Log your sets. After a few weeks you will see whether it is moving. Free.
