Bar Back Squat Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position: un-rack bar onto traps not neck (use foam attachment if needed), hands on either side grasping bar, shoulders back, chest up, core engaged, and feet shoulder width.
- Drop your hips back and down as you bend at the knees; keep your weight on your heels and your chest up.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a heavy lift squat exercise with 5x5 (5 sets of 5 reps with a heavy weight).
- Add to an Olympic Deadlift exercise to superset between movements.
- Use as a finisher exercise after a leg day with a medium weight working on maintaining form when tired.
