ENDOMORPH BARBELL SQUAT Preparation Load the weight plates and place the collar locks on. Stagger your stance with one leg forward of the other and bend your knees as you get under the barbell and set it in place on your shoulders. Stand up and walk back from the rack a few steps. Movement Lift your toes up inside your shoes as you shift your hips back and sit into the squat position. Ideally you should be able to lower yourself down so that your upper leg is parallel with the floor. Keep the weight light enough so that you’re able to do this. Push yourself up by putting your body weight on your heels. When your set is complete, re-rack the weight by squatting rather than bending forward. Awareness Keeping your weight back on your heels should ensure that your knees remain behind your toe line, which helps keep the pressure on your knees to a minimal level. Keep your eyes forward rather than looking up as this will help keep your cervical spine neutral.
