Description

Hold the bar in the crook of your elbows, keeping it close to your chest. Slowly lower yourself into a squat until you touch or briefly pause on a box or bench, without letting go completely. Keep your torso straight and the bar close to your body. Then push firmly to stand back up, controlling the movement from start to finish.
