How to Do It
- Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
- Hold a barbell across your upper back, resting it on your traps.
- Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat position, bending at the knees and hips.
- As you lower, push your knees out to the sides and keep your weight on your heels.
- Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
