Muscles trained: Quadriceps, hamstrings, glutes, lower back, calfs, upper trapezius.
  
Hold the bar using a pronated grip approximately shoulder-width apart. The bar is on the floor and close to touching your shin, your hips are down, feet flat and shoulders tall and your back should be straight. Forcefully drive into the ground to pull the bar off the floor.
You are not pulling with your arms, but rather with your hips on this exercises, so make sure your arms stay extended throughout the movement. Pull and shrug as hard as you can in an attempt to make the bar move as fast as possible.
