  3. Bend down and grip the barbell with an overhand grip, slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
  4. Keeping your back straight and your chest up, lift the barbell off the ground by extending your hips and knees.
  5. Lower the barbell back down to the ground by bending your hips and knees, while keeping your back straight and your chest up. This completes one repetition of the barbell Jefferson squat exercise.

Barbell Jefferson Squat Tips

  2. Grab the barbell with an overhand grip, hands shoulder-width apart, and place it in front of your body.
  3. Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down, bending at the hips and knees.
