How to perform

  1. 1

    Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell resting on your upper chest, with your elbows pointing forward.

  2. 2

    Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, as if you are sitting back into a chair.

  3. 3

    Keep your chest up and your back straight as you lower down, making sure your knees do not go past your toes.

  4. 4

    Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.

  5. 5

    Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees.

  6. 6

    Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
