How to perform the squat
- Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place a barbell across your upper back, gripping the bar with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width. Keep your chest up and your core engaged as you push your hips back and bend your knees, lowering your body into a squat position. Make sure your knees track over your toes and do not cave in. Drive through your heels and engage your glutes to return to the starting position.
