How to do it

  1. 1The barbell squat (on knees) is a variation of the traditional squat performed from a kneeling position.

Coaching cues

  • Start by kneeling on the ground with your knees hip-width apart and your toes pointing forward.
  • Place a barbell across your shoulders, gripping it with an overhand grip and your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  • Engage your core and keep your chest lifted as you slowly lower your body down by bending your knees, keeping your back straight.
  • Continue lowering until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
  • Pause for a moment at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  • Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
