Back Squat<br />
1. SET-UP: The squat rack pins should be set more<br />
or less at the height of your clavicles in order to get<br />
under the bar easily.<br />
2. HAND GRIP: Choose a grip similar to the grip you<br />
would normally use for an overhead press and hook<br />
your hands under the bar.<br />
3. PLACEMENT: With the bar resting on the base of<br />
the neck, lying across the top of your traps, squeeze<br />
your shoulder blades together to create a nice<br />
comfortable cushion for the bar to rest on – this is<br />
the most favourable position for beginners.<br />
4. UN-RACK: It is super important to take this step<br />
seriously. If you are sturdy under the bar, you set<br />
yourself up for good form so tighten your core as you<br />
step away from the squat rack. If you make mistakes<br />
during this process, you’re likely to be unbalanced<br />
and make mistakes when you squat.<br />
5. MOVEMENT: Keeping your elbows facing down<br />
towards the ground and your eyes looking straight<br />
