Here's how to do it:

  • Start with a loaded barbell; 65 to 75 pounds is a great starting point. Beginners should start with just the barbell, gradually adding weight as they become familiar with the movement.
  • Position your hands about shoulder-width apart on the barbell and lightly grip the bar.
  • Rest the bar on your clavicle and shoulders as you lift your elbows up. Your elbows should go as high as your mobility allows.
  • With your feet about hip-distance apart, lift the barbell off the rack. Take 1 to 2 steps backwards.
  • Shift your weight back, into your heels. Brace your abs as you begin to lower into a squat, keeping your head and back straight. Your knees should be as close to 90 degrees as possible.
  • With your core still braced, drive through your heels to stand back up. Be sure to squeeze your glutes at the top of your squat.
  • That's one rep.
  • Do three sets of 8.
