Primary Muscle: Legs
Equipment: Barbell
Level: Advanced
Purpose:
Execution: Set the rack so the barbell is at shoulder height. Remove the bar and place it on your clavicle, holding it with your hands for stability. Lift the barbell off the rack and take a medium stance (feet slightly wider than shoulder width) with your toes pointing outward. Keeping your body upright, bend your knees and lower yourself until your legs are at 90⁰. Imagine yourself sitting down on a chair. Drive through your heels up to the start position, squeezing your legs, until they are fully extended but not lock out.
