Place the barbell between your shoulder blades on your back. Do not place on neck or spine. Pull shoulder blades back and create a big chest to make a shelf for the bar to rest on. Brace your core and initiate movement by sending hips back and down. Sink into a squat pushing your knees apart to create room and maintain hamstring activation. Go down to parallel or as low as you can go. Push through the center of your foot to return to a standing position. Keep weight on middle back of foot, not on the toes. www.sandandsteelfitness.com
