High Bar Back Squats

- Setup under the center of the bar with it resting on your upper traps
 - Place your hands wide on the bar, squeeze your back tight as you pull your hands toward the center as far as you can
 - Lock hands on bar with very tight grip
 - Rotate elbows down (facing the ground) and straighten the wrists
 - Take a deep breath, hold it
 - Unrack bar and step backward, getting into your stance with as minimal steps as possible
 - Feet should be approximately shoulder width apart with toes pointed outward at a comfortable angle for your body type, typically any where from 10 – 45 degree angle
 - Let air out, and reset air pulling chest upward and ensuring elbows are facing down, head should remain forward to slightly up
 - With weight on the middle of your feet (not toes) shift hips backward
 - As the hips move backward, drop down into the hole maintaining an upright torso position tracking the knees over your toes (imagine there is a string attached to your chest keeping it up and facing forward)
 - Descend until you reach the bottom position (as far as you can go)
 - Still holding your air, drive upward out of the hole locking the hips forward at the peak with a powerful glute contraction.
 - Repeat steps 4-12.
