Barbell Full Squat

The barbell full squat is a lower body exercise that builds strength in your legs and hips. It also works your stomach muscles to keep you steady. To do it, you rest a heavy bar on your upper back and squat down, balancing carefully as you move.

  3. 3Tighten your stomach muscles and keep your chest high. Start to lower your body.
  4. 4Bend your knees and hips. Push your bottom back and down, like you are sitting in a chair.
  5. 5Go down until your upper legs are flat like a table, or a little lower.
