1 - Stand upright with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a barbell in front of your thighs with an overhand grip (palms facing your body), hands slightly narrower than shoulder-width.
2 - Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core braced throughout the movement.
3 - Pull the barbell upward along your body, leading with your elbows, until the bar reaches chin level and your elbows are slightly above shoulder height.
4 - Keep the bar close to your body throughout the entire range of motion.
5 - Pause briefly at the top, squeezing your traps and deltoids.
6 - Slowly lower the barbell back down to the starting position in a controlled manner.
