Squat with Bands

Resistance bands increase difficulty as you ascend, helping you develop explosive power.

Instructions

1. Attach bands to the bar and secure them to pegs or heavy weights on the floor.
2. Step under the bar and rest it across your upper back. Brace your core and lift the bar from the rack.
3. Take a wide stance and keep your chest up, with your back and shoulders tight.
4. Lower into a squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees. Keep your weight on your heels.
5. Descend until your hips are below knee level, then drive upward, maintaining tension in the bands.
6. Stand tall at the top before beginning the next rep.
