1. Set a barbell in a squat rack at about the height of your stomach. Place the bar securely in the crook of your elbows, clasp your hands together, and lift it from the rack. 2. Take a step back into your normal squat stance. Keep the bar held tightly to your torso and your core braced. 3. Initiate the squat by sending your hips back and down. Focus on keeping your chest up and your torso as vertical as possible as you descend. 4. Go down until your hips are below your knees, or as deep as your mobility allows. Drive through your feet to stand back up powerfully to the starting position.
