How to do it
Execution:
  1. 1
    Rest the bar across your upper back (traps), grip firm.
  2. 2
    Feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out.
  3. 3
    Lower by bending knees and hips, keeping your torso braced.
  4. 4
    Stand up by driving through the floor back to the start.
Tip: the back squat is the "king of exercises" — master technique before adding load.
