Back Squat: How to Perform for Strength and Stability
The Back Squat is a fundamental exercise to develop strength , stability, and power in the legs and core. To perform the movement correctly, position the barbell on the upper part of your back, with your feet shoulder-width apart. Lower yourself in a controlled motion by bending your knees while keeping your chest up and back straight, until you reach a 90-degree angle or lower. Then, push back up, extending your legs and keeping your core engaged. This exercise strengthens the legs, glutes, and lower back.
