Step-by-step
- Set the bar at elbow height in the rack and place it in the crooks of your elbows.
- Clasp your hands in front of you and keep your elbows high at chest level.
- Step back with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes turned slightly out.
- Keeping your torso as upright as possible, squat down until your elbows approach the inside of your knees.
- Push through your heels and stand up while keeping your chest upright.
- Keep your abdominal wall braced throughout the entire movement.
Coaching tip
Keep your elbows high at chest level to stop your torso from collapsing forward; you can wrap a towel around the bar for comfort.
Caution
Skip this move or ask a professional first if you have pain or an injury in: knee, lower back, elbow. FitCi filters it out of your program automatically based on the injuries in your profile.
