How to do it

  1. Measure your shoulders against the bar to make sure you're even. Wrap a pair of lifting straps around the bar. Hold the ends of the straps. Throw your shoulders under the bar. The bar should be digging into your neck slightly.
  2. Make sure to push your elbows up to the ceiling for the entire rep. To make sure you don't get too pitched forward.
  3. Use the squat stance you would use for a back or goblet squat. Push your hips back to initiate the squat. Break at the knees until you hit parallel depth.
  4. Squat back up to a standing position.
