Squatting with a Bar Bell

Technique

Here our instructor Bex breaks down how to properly, and safely, squat with a bar bell

Set up: Grip the floor with your toes, push knees out towards big toe. Lift chest, pull bar into back, engage glutes and abs.

Bend knees and push bum back remembering to keep your chest lifted.

Sink down until your bum is just below knee height. Keep pushing knees out.

Push through heels as you rise, keep squeezing glutes and don’t forget to breathe!

At the top don’t lock your knees before the next rep.
