How to do it
- Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
- Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, sitting back with your hips.
- Continue until you have squatted a portion of the way down, but are above parallel, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions.
Test it
This is one of the three lifts that get judged in competition, which means there is a real distribution to measure yourself against.
