Step-by-step instructions
- 01Set both safety pins in a power rack to the prescribed bottom-squat height and position the loaded bar evenly across them.
- 02Move beneath the bar, secure it across your upper back, set your feet, and build full-body tension from the dead-stop position.
- 03Drive through each whole foot to extend your hips and knees and raise the bar from the pins.
- 04Stand fully without allowing your knees to collapse inward or your chest to fall forward.
- 05Squat back to the pins under control, let the bar settle completely, and reset your brace before the next repetition.
