Position your other foot about two feet in front of the bench, this will be your main support during the exercise.
Slowly lower your body by bending your front knee until your thigh is parallel to the floor, ensuring that your knee does not extend past your toes.
Push through the heel of your front foot to raise your body back to the starting position, maintaining your balance throughout.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, then switch legs and perform the exercise with the opposite leg.
Pro Tip
**Position of the Barbell**: When placing the barbell on your shoulders, make sure it is evenly balanced to avoid strain on one side of your body. The barbell should be resting on your traps, not your neck. This will help you maintain balance and control while performing the exercise. **Weight Selection**: Start with a lighter weight to ensure you can perform the exercise with proper form. Gradually increase the weight as you become more comfortable with the movement. Trying to lift too heavy too soon can lead to injuries. **
