Space your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart with your toes pointing slightly outward and rest the bar on your lower traps and rear shoulders. Grip the bar with your hands spaced evenly apart and clear the bar off of the pins. Keeping your head up and abs tight, take a step back. Make sure that you are in a secure position with the bar balanced and with a solid base. Start the movement by breaking the waist and begin sitting back as you descend. Keep your knees out, this will allow your hips to open up and go down. As you squat down make sure that your head is up, your abs are tight and your lower back is arched. Descend until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Once you reach the bottom, drive the weight back up until you are in a standing position. Keep the chest up through out the movement, this will keep your back from rounding over leading to back strain or a missed attempt.
