Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin kneeling on the floor with a barbell racked across the back of your shoulders, or you can use your body weight for this exercise. This can be done inside of a power rack to make unracking easier.

  2. 2

    Sit back with your hips until your glutes touch your feet, keeping your head and chest up.

  3. 3

    Explode up with your hips, generating enough power to land with your feet flat on the floor.

  4. 4

    Continue with the squat by driving through your heels and extending the knees to come to a standing position.
