Hack Squat – Barbell

  1. Stand in front of the barbell with your feet shoulder-width apart. The barbell will be by the back of your calves.
  2. Bend down and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, with your palms facing behind you.
  3. Stand up straight, lifting the barbell off the ground and holding it behind your legs.
  4. Keeping your back straight, lower your body by bending your knees and hips, as if you were sitting down on a chair, until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
  5. Push through your heels to stand back up to the starting position.
  6. Repeat.
