Instructions
1. Set up the safety squat bar on a power rack at about shoulder height and load it with the desired weight.
2. Step under the bar, positioning it across your traps and shoulders. The unique design of a safety squat bar includes pads and handles to hold onto.
3. Remove the bar from the rack by straightening your legs and stepping back carefully.
4. Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed outward.
5. Keep your back straight, core tight, and your head looking forward.
6. Begin the movement by pushing your hips backward, bending at the waist, and maintaining a straight back.
7. Lower your torso until it is almost parallel to the floor, or until your hamstrings are fully stretched.
8. Inhale as you descend and exhale as you return to the starting position by driving your hips forward and extending through the lower back.
9. Perform the desired number of reps then safely rerack the bar.
It's important to perform this exercise with proper form to prevent injury. Modifying the range of motion to maintain comfort and spine safety is recommended, especially for those new to the exercise or with limited flexibility.
