Steps : 1.) Start by setting up a weighted barbell with the amount of weight that you would like to perform. 2.) Position the barbell on your shoulders with an overhand wide shoulder width grip just as in a regular squat position. 3.) Slowly squat down towards the floor about 12 inches, not as deep as a regular squat, and hold for a count. 4.) Return back up to the starting position. 5.) Repeat for as many reps and sets as desired.
