SETUP: Bar at Shoulders/Rack Position. Stand with feet shoulder width apart, bar overhead with a wide grip. Shoulders are active and elbows locked. Head is “through the window” creating a straight line from bar to torso to heels.

Execution

• Bend at your hips and sit back into the squat.
• Active shoulders with constant upward pressure on the bar.
• Keep the chest lifted.
• Knees track with the toes.
• Weight in the heels, concentrating on keeping the bar balanced over the heels.
• You should always aim to squat to just below parallel, meaning your hip joint needs to come just below your knee.
