Instructions:

  • 1Stand tall with feet shoulder-width apart while holding the PVC pipe overhead, with your hands just wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • 2Begin by pushing your hips back, bending your knees, and lowering your body towards the ground keeping your chest up.
  • 3Ensure your heels remain grounded and your knees track in line with your toes.
  • 4Continue to lower until your hip joint is level with or below your knee joint.
  • 5Extend your knees and hips to return to the standing position, keeping the PVC pipe overhead throughout the move.

Tips:

  • Keep your back straight, chest up, and eyes facing forward to maintain proper form throughout the exercise.
  • Ensure that your knees do not go past your toes when lowering.
  • Move into the squat slowly to ensure control, and prevent injury.
  • Make sure the PVC pipe is held in position overhead throughout the entire lift to engage the shoulder muscles properly.
