The Barbell Squat is February's Exercise of the Month!
Step 1 - PREP
Position barbell on rack at upper chest height. Step in front of bar and place it high on back of
shoulders and grasp barbell to sides. Remove bar from rack, step back and stand with
shoulder width stance.

Bend knees while allowing hips to bend back behind, keeping back
straight and knees pointed same direction as feet. Descend until thighs are just
about parallel to floor.
Return to standing by extending knees and hips until legs are straight.

- Knees should track in a straight line, don't let them buckle in as you press up
- Keep back straight and focus on having an open chest
- Both feet should maintain contact with the floor throughout the range of motion, don't come up on toes
