Instructions
Preparation
- Position barbell on back of shoulders and grasp barbell to sides. Stand with feet far apart; one foot forward and other foot behind
Execution
- Squat down by flexing knee and hip of front leg until knee of rear leg is almost in contact with floor. Return to original standing position by extending hip and knee of forward leg. Repeat. Continue with opposite leg.
Comments
- Allow heel of rear foot to raise off floor during descent so weight is transferred to forefoot. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement. Keep torso upright during squat; flexible hip flexors are important.
