Barbell squats

Step 1: Grab the barbell bar and place it across your upper back. Push your shoulders back so they stretch while you perform the exercise. Place your feet hip width apart.

Step 2: Lower your body by bending in on your knees and lowering your hip, until your thighs are in parallel to the floor. Keep your abs tight at all times to provide stability. Make sure the back is stretched during the whole movement.

Avoid this mistake: Make sure to keep your back straight at all times. It has been observed that during this exercise many individuals bend their back unintentionally. Not only does that decrease the overall effectiveness of the workout, but also hinders in optimum muscle growth and causes lower back pain in the longer run.

Step 3: Push your hips forward and slowly get up to initial position. Repeat.
