With the barbell on a rack, walk under the weight so it rests across the back of your shoulders.
2)

3)
Have your head up and back straight, bend your knees and lower yourself until your thighs are parallel with the ground.
4)
Now that your parallel, drive yourself back up to the starting position. It is important to go parallel in this movement, especially when you are new to this exercise, so that you develop strength along the entire range of motion.
