Barbell Kneeling Squats
- In a power rack, set the barbell to where your shoulders will be when kneeling. Set up behind the barbell. Kneel on a padded surface. Place yourself underneath the barbell, positioning it across your shoulders.
- Tighten your core and drive your glutes forward as you lift the barbell from the rack. Slowly sit back, keeping a braced form with your upper body.
- When your butt touches your calves, drive your glutes forward again as you slowly return to the starting position. Repeat.
