How to perform

Begin with feet shoulder-width apart, clasping your hands at chest level. Step to the side, widening your stance to about 3-4 feet, and angle your toes outward. Lower your hips into a squat, keeping your spine neutral, core engaged, and knees tracking over your toes until your thighs are parallel to the floor.

Muscles Worked

Quadriceps

Secondary: Glutes, Hamstrings, Calves, Erector spinae

Tips

Ensure your knees move outward to activate your glutes and stretch your hips. Prioritize a neutral spine to build core stability and maintain proper form. Prevent forward leaning to stretch your hip flexors and strengthen your glutes and back. Only use a weight you can control while maintaining correct alignment. Focus on driving upward through your heels.
