BARBELL OVERHEAD SQUAT

TIPS: Make sure your knees are always pointing towards the toes. Focus on always having your weight on the entire soles of your feet. Your head and chest should always look forward.

STARTING POSITION:

Select the appropriate plates to put on the barbell. Grab the barbell with your hands wider than shoulder width apart. The barbell should be around the height of your pubic bone with your arms straight. Stand straight, spread your feet at shoulder width apart and put your toes slightly out. Lift the barbell up just above your head. Contract your pelvic floor and core while keeping your chest up.

MOVEMENT:

Bend the knees and move your glutes backwards, lowering your legs until your thighs are parallel to the floor while you inhale. In a fast movement, return to the starting position pressing mainly from your heels while you exhale.
