TECHNIQUE: when performing the barbell squat creating a strong rack position is key. The bar should rest on your shoulders (on the trapezius muscles and your elbows underneath the bar. Keep your torso tight and keep your knees out wide. ADVANTAGES: The Barbell Squat is key for building glute, core, and quads, It also works great in complexes. FAULTS: the barbell squat is an incredibly complex movement. Controlling the anterior pelvic tilt (affectionately called the "butt wink" is key.) Maintaining a neutral thoracic spine throughout the movement is very important. Don't attempt to hold the bar, use your shoulder to hold the bar. SCALING: If your shoulder mobility does not allow you hold the bar correctly, you can use a safety squat bar or dumbbells instead.
