How to do it

Steps :

1.) Set up in a squat position with a barbell resting on your traps, keeping your chest up, head facing forward and your feet shoulder-width apart.

2.) Slowly descend to the ground by bending your knees, without moving your hips backwards, and shifting them forward staying in position with your feet.

3.) Keep your body as upright as possible and squat all the way down keeping the weight on the front of your heels until the back of your upper legs connect with the lower legs.

4.) Hold for a count then drive your weight up as you return back to the starting position.

5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
