What is the Barbell Squat?

The barbell squat is a fundamental exercise for strengthening the thighs and glutes. This full-body workout also enhances stability and posture by engaging multiple essential muscle groups.

How to properly perform the Barbell Squat

  1. Start by standing with your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart and position the barbell across your upper back, resting it on your traps.
  2. Keep your chest up, engage your core, and maintain a neutral spine throughout the movement.
  3. Initiate the squat by bending at your hips and knees, lowering your body until your thighs are parallel to the ground or below.
  4. Ensure that your knees are tracking over your toes and avoid letting them collapse inward.
  5. Drive through your heels to stand back up, extending your hips and knees.
  6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining proper form and control throughout the exercise.
