Instructions:
- 1Place a loaded barbell into the crook of your elbows with palms together.
- 2Stand with your right foot planted firmly and your left foot elevated on a bench or block behind you.
- 3Bend your front knee to lower your body towards the floor, keeping your torso upright and your back tight.
- 4Use your front foot to power you back up to the standing position, pressing through your heel.
- 5Switch sides and repeat.
Tips:
- Ensure foot on the floor is far enough in front that knee does not move past toes during the squat.

- Keep your abdominal muscles tight throughout the exercise.
- When standing up, make sure to push through your heel rather than your toes.
