How To Do A Barbell Squat

The king of all exercises. Squats work your whole body. Your legs bend and straighten to move the weight. Your abs and lower back muscles stabilize your trunk while your legs move. Your upper-back, shoulders and arms balance the bar on your back. Many muscles work at the same time, not just your legs. Setup: Face the bar. Grab it tight with a medium grip. Put it on the top of your traps by dipping under the bar. Raise your chest with your head facing forward. Unrack: Adopt a hip-width stance with the feet turned out as needed. Move your feet under the bar. Unrack it by straightening your legs. Step back with straight legs. Lock your hips and knees. Squat: Take a big breath, push the air down to your core, hold it and begin the squat. Descend by flexing the knees while moving your hips back. Ensure that they stay align with the feet. Keep your lower back neutral and torso as tight as possible Break parallel: Continue all the way down, keeping the weight on the front of the heel. Squat down until your hips are below your knees. Thighs parallel to the ground is not low enough. Drive up: After breaking parallel, squat back up. Keep your knees out and chest up. Lock your hips and knees at the top.
