How to Barbell Keeling Squat
Starting Position
1. Kneel on a soft mat and place the tops of your feet on the floor.
2. Securely position the barbell behind your shoulders.
3. Open your chest and engage your core.
Proper Form
1. Slowly sit back by pushing your hips back, allowing your hips to lower towards your heels.
2. While engaging your glutes and the front of your thighs, push your hips back up to return to a standing position with your knees bent.
3. Keep your upper body as upright as possible and repeat.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while getting up.
Precautions
1. If your knees hurt, please use enough cushioning while proceeding.
2. Please maintain tension in your abdomen to prevent your back from bending backward.
3. It's better to start with bodyweight or light dumbbells before increasing the weight with a barbell.
