How to do it
The barbell squat is the fundamental exercise for thighs and glutes.
Place the bar on your upper back, not on your neck. Feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointing slightly outward.
Lower by pushing your hips back and bending your knees until your thighs are at least parallel to the floor, then push back up through the floor.
Back straight, heels on the floor, knees aligned with your feet. With a heavy load, work in a rack with the safeties set.
