# Barbell Squat
|
||||
|
||||
The barbell back squat — bar across the upper back, sit down between the
|
||||
heels, stand back up.
|
||||
|
||||
- **Category:** Main circuit
|
||||
- **Type:** Free-weight compound squat
|
||||
- **Targets:** Quadriceps, glutes, adductors, trunk
|
||||
- **Prescription:** 4 × 6–8
|
||||
|
||||
## Setup
|
||||
|
||||
Set the bar on your upper traps (not the neck), hands just outside the
|
||||
shoulders, and step back from the rack. Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly
|
||||
out, brace before every rep.
|
||||
|
||||
## Execution
|
||||
|
||||
1. Sit down and back — hips and knees bend together, chest stays up.
|
||||
2. Descend until the thighs reach at least parallel, knees tracking over
|
||||
the toes.
|
||||
3. Drive the floor apart and stand back up to full lockout.
|
||||
|
||||
## Cues
|
||||
|
||||
- Big breath and brace at the top; exhale at the finish.
|
||||
- The bar stays over mid-foot — watch the sideways bar path, not the mirror.
|
||||
- Elbows down under the bar, not flared behind it.
|
||||
|
||||
## Common Mistakes
|
||||
|
||||
- Knees caving inward out of the bottom.
|
||||
- Heels lifting — weight drifting onto the toes.
|
||||
- Chest collapsing forward into a good-morning.
|
||||
|
||||
## Progression
|
||||
|
||||
Master the Bodyweight Squat and Goblet Squat first; add weight in small
|
||||
jumps only while depth and knee tracking hold.
