Barbell Wide Squat

Also works: Glutes, Hamstrings, Calves

How to do it

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
2. Hold the barbell across your upper back, resting it on your traps or rear delts.
3. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat, pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
4. Lower until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
5. Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
6. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
