How to perform

Set safety pins for a parallel squat. Position barbell on pins, stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Grip barbell overhand, elbows forward, resting on deltoids. Engage core, lift barbell by extending legs. Squat by bending hips and knees until the barbell touches the pins. Pause briefly, maintaining tension. Drive through heels to return to standing.

Tips

Keep elbows high for stability. Maintain an upright torso. Use a controlled tempo. Keep your core tight. Adjust pin height for proper depth and comfort.
