Description

Hold the bar in the crook of your elbows, pressing it tightly against your chest. Slowly lower yourself into a squat, keeping your torso straight and the bar close to you. Once in the lower position, pause for about 2 seconds without relaxing, maintaining muscle tension. Then rise back up in a controlled manner to a standing position, keeping your torso engaged and your posture stable throughout the movement.
