1. Stand with your feet a little wider than your hips and slightly turned out.
2. Squeeze your shoulders blades back and down to engage your back.
3. Spread the floor with your feet to engage your hips.
4. Take a big inhaling breath and brace throughout your core.
5. Squat to your most comfortable depth while keeping the bar over the midline of your feet.
6. Drive your feet into the floor, stand back up and squeeze your glutes at the top of every rep (squeezing at the top is optional but I do find it helps lifters create a better connection with their glutes).
7. Progressively overload the squat by trying to add more weight or better form over time.
