How to do it

1. Position your feet shoulder-width apart with toes pointing forward.
2. Place the barbell across your upper back, gripping it firmly with both hands.
3. Engage your core and lower into a squat by bending at the knees, keeping your chest lifted and back straight.
4. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the floor, then drive through your heels to return to the starting position.
5. Repeat for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining form throughout.
