Deadlift Bar Squat
The Deadlift Bar Squat is a great exercise for going heavy and putting a lot of good stress on your body. I find using the deadlift bar much easier than trying to control dumbbells.
Primary Muscles Used
Deadlift Bar Squat Instructions
- Stand right in the center of the deadlift bar and grab the handles.
- Keep your stomach tight and your back straight throughout the exercise.
- Keeping a firm grip stand up, lifting the deadlift bar with you.
- Keep going up until your legs are almost straight, you want to keep a slight bend in your knees.
- Pause at the top and slowly go back down.
- Stop just before the weight hits the ground and repeat.
- You want to try and keep your torso as upright as possible, if you are bending over too much you are doing a deadlift and not a squat.
