General And Specifics
- if you want to use more weight, use a squat stand
Starting Position
- place the barbell on your upper back
- pull back the bladebones and push out the chest
- stand up with a bit wider than shoulder width opened legs
- the feet are turned out a bit
- angle the legs a bit to preserve the knee joints
- keep your back straight while you work out
- look ahead
Correct Execution
- bend your knees in a controlled motion until they are parallel to the ground
- push out the bottom backwards and go into a slight hollow-back while you tilt the upper body forward a little
- the knees point into the same direction like the tiptoes and do not protrude them during the bending (to preserve the joints)
- your hands hold the barbell stable
- put pressure on your heels and come back to the starting position without momentum
- repeat the barbell exercise several times
