Barbell Narrow Squat
Outer thighAbout
Literally, it's a squat that narrows the width of your feet. It's a workout that targets the muscles on the outside of your thighs because your feet are narrow.
How to Barbell Narrow Squat
Starting Position
1. Please place the barbell at shoulder height.
2. Grip the barbell wider than shoulder width and rest it on your trapezius.
3. Spread your legs narrower than shoulder width and turn your toes out about 20-30 degrees.
4. Keep your chest up and your back straight.
Proper Form
1. Tighten your abdomen and keep your waist straight while bending at the hips to lower your buttocks down.
2. Allow your knees to bend naturally until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
3. Push strongly through the center of your feet to rise.
4. As your buttocks rise, straighten your knees and hips in sequence, returning to the starting position.
Breathing Technique
Breathe in while going down, and breathe out while going up.
Precautions
1. Please be careful not to lean your upper body too far forward.
2. Keep your chest up and engage your core to avoid bending your waist.
3. Don't excessively bend your waist while trying to keep it straight.
4. Please do not stick your hips too far back.
5. Make sure your feet do not lift off the ground.
6. When standing up, please ensure your knees do not come together.
