Remove the barbell from the rack and position it on your shoulders behind your neck. Your hands should be wide apart (almost at the collars). Stand with your feet about shoulder-width apart and your knees slightly bent. Your elbows will be slightly behind you. This is your starting position. Start with a slight dip of the knees. Keep your back straight and your feet flat on the floor. Inhale during this movement. Push up by straightening your knees. As the bar rises, push yourself under the bar, switching the feet into a toes out stance. The elbows become extended and the barbell is held overhead, with the barbell slightly behind the head. You will end up in the squat position. Exhale during this movement. Return to the starting position with the legs straight and the barbell on your shoulders behind your neck. Repeat for the recommended number of repetitions.
