About

This squat uses a barbell between your legs to work your lower body and core.

How to Barbell Jefferson Squat

Starting Position

1. Place the barbell on the floor between your legs, standing with one foot in front and the other foot behind the bar.

2. Grip the barbell with both hands, keeping your chest up and your back straight.

3. Balance your weight evenly on both feet.

Proper Form

1. Please push your hips back and slowly lower yourself by bending your knees.

2. Sit down until your thighs are close to parallel with the ground.

3. Stand up while pushing the floor strongly with the entire sole of your foot.

4. After completing the designated repetitions in the same direction, switch your leg position and repeat on the other side.

Breathing Technique

Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while coming up.

Precautions

1. Please keep your chest up to prevent your back from rounding.

2. Please adjust so that your knees do not go excessively past your toes.

3. Start with a light weight to learn the pattern, then increase the weight.
