How To Perform Barbell Full-Squats

Barbell Full Squats are one of the most effective exercises to build leg muscles, as well as accelerating fat loss and maintaining your fitness. Full-Squats are more recommended over Half-Squats, as Full-Squats recruit more muscles in the legs as well as the upper body, thus providing more benefits than the much easier Half-Squats.

How To Perform Barbell Full-Squats

1.Perform some warm up exercises.

2.Place the barbell on your shoulder,behind your neck,supported by your trapezius muscles.

3.Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, and point your toes slightly outward.

4.Keep your back in a neutral position, and keep your knees centered over your feet.

5.Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. If you don’t go down that far, you’re cheating yourself and doing fake squat. Proceed way down, and you’ll feel it in very muscle of your leg. This provides you with a really strong core in conjunction with strong legs and a strong back.

6.Perform 2-3 sets with 15 repetitions in each set.

Points To Remember

*Squat down until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor.

*Do not arch your back.

*Stand with your feet slightly wider than hip-width apart, and point your toes slightly outward.

*Perform the motion in a controlled manner.

*Breathe in as you lower, breathe out as you return to starting position
