3. Tuck your head underneath and position your upper trapezius against the barbell.
4. Plant your feet on the floor, take a breath, and extend your knees to unrack the barbell.
5. Take a couple of steps back to clear enough space for safe squatting.
6. Widen your stance as comfortably as you can and position your toes at a 45-degree angle. Ensure that your knees also point in the same direction.

8. Descend as low as you comfortably can while keeping your heels in contact with the floor.
