How to do Barbell Squat

  1. Bar on your upper back, feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out.
  2. Brace, then sit your hips back and down until they break parallel.
  3. Drive up through your whole foot to a full stand.
Where reps get stolen

The morning-after squat: hips shoot up first and the bar turns it into a good morning. Chest and hips rise together.
