Weighted Full Squat from Deficit

Instructions

1. Stand on a low platform or weight plates with feet shoulder-width apart and a barbell or plate held at your chest or overhead.
2. Descend into a full squat, going below parallel, keeping your chest up and knees tracking over your toes.
3. Drive through the entire foot to stand back to full extension.
4. The deficit increases the range of motion — maintain a neutral spine throughout.
