This is the intense version of a standard squat. Its more intense because instead of using body weight, you're holding extra pounds on your shoulders giving you more work for your biggest muscle groups. Proper form is crucial in the performance of this exercise since you do have a load on your spine. 

-Follow these steps-

(If you are not familiar with this exercise, start off utilizing the lightest weight possible.)

1. Knees pointing forward, maintain feet hip with apart (eyes look over the horizon)
2. Place barbell on the highest meaty portion of your trapezius muscle. (It should be fairly comfortable)
3. As you bend your knees bring your hips back maintaining a neutral position (body as upright as possible)
4. Legs will form a 90 degree angle (ensure the knees are behind the biggest toe)
5. Return to the start position slow and controlled (don't lock your legs)
6. Knees should be inlined with the toes the entire duration of the workout.

This workout will engage the CORE(ABS), QUADS(LEGS) & GlUTES(BUTT)
