Bar Band Squat
A squat against two bands anchored under the feet and fixed to a stick across the back; the pull builds toward the top.
How to do it
Setup
Stick on the upper back, a band loop under each foot, feet shoulder-width.
Steps
- Sit down and back to parallel or below.
- Keep the stick pressed to the upper back.
- Stand tall, pushing the bands to full stretch.
Common mistakes
Stick riding up onto the neck: keep it on the upper back. Loops sliding off the feet: seat them under the arches. Stopping short of lockout: stand fully against the bands.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
