How to do it

  1. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  2. Hold the barbell in front of your chest with your hands shoulder-width apart, elbows pointing forward.
  3. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat position, pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
  4. Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
  5. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
