beginnerLandminecompound

Form Cues

  1. 1

    Hold the end of the barbell at chest height with both hands, feet shoulder width apart, squat down keeping the torso upright

  2. 2

    The angled bar naturally encourages an upright position — use it

  3. 3

    Push your knees out in line with your toes as you descend

  4. 4

    Drive through the whole foot to stand, especially the heels

Common Mistakes

  • ●

    Letting the elbows drop and losing tension on the bar — keep the bar pressed into the chest throughout the movement

  • ●

    Knees caving inward on the way up — actively push them out over the toes

  • ●

    Cutting depth short — aim for at least parallel before standing back up

Equipment Variations

  • ▸

    Goblet squat with dumbbell or kettlebell

  • ▸

    Barbell front squat
