Wide Grip High Pull

This is an excellent exercise for the legs and lower back.

START	FINISH

Place your feet under a suitably weighted bar, shoulder width apart, bend down grasping the bar with your hands, having your arms straight, double shoulder width apart.

Commence the exercise with your legs bent, feet firmly on the floor with your buttocks pushed back, back straight with head up.

Smoothly straighten your legs, lifting the weight up to shoulder level with your elbows high, aiming to keep the bar close to your body throughout.

Avoid leaning to far other the bar, or jerking in the initial lift.

Advanced lifters may wish to rise on their toes to extend the bar a little higher in the final phase.

Lower the bar back down to waist level, prior to returning down to the floor and repeating again for desired reps.
