Instructions
Preparation
- Squat down to place shoulders under padded bars. Place feet shoulder width apart slightly in front of shoulders.
Execution
- Extend knees and hips until legs are straight. Descend until thighs are just past parallel to floor. Return and repeat.
Comments
- Keep head forward, back straight and feet flat on the floor; equal distribution of weight through forefoot and heel. Knees should point same direction as feet throughout movement. See Squat Analysis.
