How to do it

1. Set up a barbell on a squat rack at chest height.

3. Bend your knees and lower your body down into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest up.
4. Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
5. Lift the barbell off the rack and step back, ensuring your feet are still shoulder-width apart.
