Wide leg squat with barbell

1. Stand with your feet wider than shoulder width apart, pointing your toes outwards slightly
2. The bar should be resting on your trapezius muscles (between your shoulders and neck) and not on your neck/spine
3. Slowly lower your bum towards the ground as if you were going to sit on a chair, dont bring the knees forward too much
4. You should go down as far as you can manage without your knees going further forward than your toes
5. Slowly raise your body back up again until you are standing straight
6. Repeat steps 3 to 5 until you can no longer maintain correct technique

• The lower you go the more you'll get from the exercise but please start slowly dont go too low to start with
• To protect your knees be sure to remember 'Bum down - not knees forward'
• Be sure to rest the bar on your trapezius (shoulder muscles) and not on your spine
