Barbell Squats target the quads, glutes, and hamstrings while engaging the core for stability. Position a barbell across your upper back, feet shoulder-width apart. Lower into a squat by pushing hips back and bending knees, then drive through your heels to return to standing. This foundational lower-body exercise enhances strength, mobility, and overall athletic performance. Gymcheq emphasizes controlled motion and proper alignment for maximum effectiveness and safety.
