How to perform it
Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Place the barbell on your upper back, resting it on your traps. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you begin to squat down, pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go. Drive through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
