Description:
  • Set-Up: Once you have the barbell in position (in front of collarbone), squeeze your upper arms into your sides and maintain this position of your hands/arms throughout the movement.
  • Movement: Take a deep breath in, brace your core, and sit down between your heels (imagine pushing your knees out slightly). Don't allow your torso to fall forward or round through the spine. Pause at the bottom of the squat, then drive back up to the starting position, emphasizing pushing off with the mid/back portion of your foot.

This variation can be great for taller lifter, or novice lifters who are just learning proper squatting mechanics.

Common Error(s): Not engaging core | Arching the upper back
