How to perform

Position the barbell across your upper chest and grip it securely. Keeping your spine straight and chest lifted, squat down until you reach your comfortable range of motion. Push through your heels to return to the starting position, exhaling as you rise.

Quadriceps
Secondary: Glutes, Hamstrings

Tips

Start with a lighter weight to perfect your technique and bar placement. Maintain a tight core and upright posture throughout the movement. A long-sleeved shirt can enhance comfort. Focus on stability and controlled movements rather than squat depth initially. Prioritize proper form above all else.
