Reverse-Band Barbell Back Squat

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01In a power rack, attach matching resistance bands from secure overhead anchors to both ends of the loaded barbell so assistance is greatest at the bottom.
2. 02Verify equal band tension, unrack the bar with a tight upper back, and establish your squat stance clear of the hooks.
3. 03Brace your trunk and descend under control while keeping full-foot pressure and your knees aligned with your toes.
4. 04Reverse forcefully and drive through both feet as the band assistance decreases toward lockout.
5. 05Finish upright, reset your brace, and rerack only after confirming both bar ends remain level and secure.
