Front Barbell Squat

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and the barbell resting on your upper chest, with your elbows pointing forward.

2. 2

   Lower your body by bending your knees and pushing your hips back, as if you are sitting back into a chair.

3. 3

   Keep your chest up and your back straight as you lower down, making sure your knees do not go past your toes.

4. 4

   Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.

5. 5

   Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees.

6. 6

   Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
