Barbell Squat - Knees - End position

• Keeping your chest up and your back straight, bend your knees and lower your body as if you're sitting back into a chair until your thighs are parallel to the floor.
• Ensure your knees are in line with your feet and do not extend past your toes.
• Now, push through your heels and extend your legs to return to the starting position.
• Keep your core engaged throughout the exercise and maintain a steady breathing pattern, inhaling as you lower and exhaling as you stand. This is the end position of the Barbell Squat.

• Posture: Maintain a straight back throughout the exercise. Avoid rounding your back or leaning forward, which are common errors that can lead to injury. Engage your core and keep your chest up to help maintain proper posture.
• Barbell Placement: The barbell should rest on your upper back, not your neck. It should be positioned across your shoulder blades. A high bar position (on the traps) or a low bar position (across the rear deltoids) can be used depending on your comfort and the specific muscles you want to target.
• Depth: Go as deep as your flexibility allows, ideally until your hips are

It's recommended to have a personal trainer or experienced gym-goer guide you through the process for the first few times to ensure you're doing it correctly. Always remember to warm up before starting any exercise routine.
