Sit on the ground with a bench or plyo box behind you, bending your knees so your feet are planted on the floor. Rest barbell above your hips with hands on the bar. Lean back so the top of your shoulders are on the bench. Drive hips up to lift the bar up and squeeze your glutes. Your knees should be bent at a 90 degree angle. Slowly lower you hips back to starting position.
