  3. Position yourself under the barbell, resting it on your upper back and shoulders.
  4. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat position, pushing your hips back and bending your knees.
  5. Lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the ground, or as low as you can comfortably go.
