Set-up Verbal Instructions:
- Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and toes pointed forward.
- Grasp the dowel in both hands and place it on top of your head so your shoulders and elbows are at 90 degrees.
- Press the dowel so that it is directly above your head.
- While maintaining an upright torso and keeping your heels and the dowel in position, descend into a squat as deeply as possible.
- Hold the bottom position for a count of one, and then return to the starting position.
